Our tardy bell rings at 7:25 AM. When students arrive to school, they have certain entrances for their grade level. At 7:25 AM, these doors are shut and locked, and students are to enter at the main entrance by the office to receive a tardy slip. Our exterior doors lock as a safety precaution, and if students do not sign in to the office when they are tardy, we do not know that they are present at school and would not be able to track them if an emergency were to take place.
Bring your gently used books to our parent teacher conference. Please only bring books that are age-appropriate and can be found on the Accelerated Reader (AR) tracker website. If you would like to order some books our students have requested, please use the QR code or link below: https://a.co/fktvh06
