August 10, 2017
Greetings!

As we informed you earlier this week, due to construction delays, the start of the school year has been adjusted.

New students will report for orientation day on Friday, August 18. Students are expected to be in uniform this day.

New and returning students will report for school on Monday, August 21. 

As an additional reminder about these changes, parents will receive a message from One Call Now on Friday, August 11. This will also serve as our test of the One Call Now system ahead of the new school year. New students' contact information was uploaded into One Call Now earlier this summer. If you would like to ensure your student's information is correct, please contact Kary Ellen Berger, communications coordinator. If you do not receive the One Call Now message on Friday, please contact Kary Ellen as well.
