  • Remember to check grades on Parent Portal instead of Schoology.  Parent Portal is the official place that grades are stored and updated.

  • We do have students with peanut allergies, and we ask that no shelled peanuts be brought into school.  Food that is processed with peanuts is permitted.  We ask that no actual peanut shells be brought into the building.

  • We will be continuing our new lockdown protocol known as A.L.I.C.E this school year.
