Please remember the first week or two takes a little more time than normal for students to find their routine and transportation may take a little longer than normal. We thank you in advance for your patience. Students will receive a fresh, updated copy of their class schedules as a few changes can be made due to changes in enrollment. Please remind students that they DO NOT need to bring anything with them on the first day of school! Along with their new schedule, students will be given a pencil and folder to take notes as they are guided through their first day. Students may bring their backpacks and school items on Thursday, September 5. 6th grade students are now able to participate in athletics (except for Football). 6th, 7th and 8th grade Fall sports will begin on Thursday, September 5. Practices begin immediately after school and end approximately 3:45 – 4:00pm – Reminder that there are no activity buses and students will need to be picked up after practice.
