The Office
There have been several complaints about vehicles turning in front of waiting vehicles on Kirkwood Blvd. before or after school.
The far right lane must continue straight and not turn in front of vehicles waiting to the left trying to turn to get into the drop off / pick up line.
 
Remember from drivers ed - two lines that intersect have a point of impact. Officers will be issuing citations for this violation.
If you are needing to park in the parking lot you must either wait or turn in the parking lot from the east side traveling west.

Any questions on this please contact Officer Roberson 817-949-5414

Laptop Covers
We still have hard-shell laptop covers (green only) available for purchase for $20.
Please see Mrs. Gulliver or Mrs. Brett in the front office to purchase one. 

Lost and Found
We have many items in our Lost & Found that need to find their owners.  Our Lost & Found is situated directly outside of our Nurse's office and it has jackets, duffle bags, water bottles, lunch boxes, books, pencil cases and more.  Anything more valuable, is kept at Mrs. Gulliver's desk.  She currently has retainers, Invisalign retainers, jewelry, and electronics that have not been claimed.  We check the Lost & Found on a daily basis for any items that may have a name on it so that we can call the student to the office to return their item.  Please ask your student to check the Lost & Found (or with Mrs. Gulliver) so that items can be returned.  At the holiday break on Dec. 21, all lunch boxes and water bottles will be thrown away, and the rest of the items will be donated.  

Dress Code Reminders:
If girls wear leggings, the top worn with them must be knuckle length. 

If she wears shorts, a dress or a skirt, these items must be at least knuckle length. 

Thank you for helping our students follow the district dress code.

Please review the full Dress Code in the Student Handbook.
