Back To School!

We have been working hard to be ready to welcome students back to school on Monday, August 19th. Please make sure that you pick up your official class schedules in the gym before you go to your first class. You will need this schedule to be allowed into your classes. Schedule distribution will begin at 6:30am.
Counselors have worked really hard on class schedules. As such, there will no schedule changes. There will be no changing of elective classes, teacher requests, etc. The only class change requests we will consider are those where a student has the wrong math, science, English or social science class, missing a class needed for graduation or is missing a period.
Happy First Day of School!
