Important Information

Car Line

Courtesy reminders for our car drop-off and pick-up lines:
  • Texting and driving is against the law! Please put down the phone while your vehicle is moving.
  • Drop off and pick up are in designated areas where staff members are supervising. This is for your child's safety.
  • No smoking on school property.
  • When exiting the car line, turn RIGHT! Everyone wants to go home quickly and safely. Please stop blocking traffic and buses by attempting a left turn from car loop. This causes a delay for everyone on and off the property.
  • Stay alert, and stay in your vehicle! Continue moving forward in the line. We will help your child to your vehicle.
  • Have your car tag # displayed and visible until your child reaches your vehicle.

Academics

Progress Reports

Progress Reports will post on Friday, November 14th, in the Parent Portal. Please log in and check your child's current grades. Click on the class grade to view assignments and individual assignment grades. Please note the following:

"Z" means your child has a missing assignment that will count as a 0% if not complete.

"X" means child was excused from the assignment.

Please contact your child's teacher with specific classwork and/or grading questions.

Students must earn at least 240 points (a minimum of 60% for each quarter) in each academic class by the end of the school year. Middle school students will soon begin participating in grade recovery classes in place of elective courses for ELA, Science, Math, and Social Studies if they are failing one or more of these four academic courses.
