Dear Parents and Guardians,
All of our schools have recently launched a New School Visitor Management System in an effort to keep security a priority with our students and staff.
This system now requires anyone visiting or needing to get into the school to present a driver's license which will be scanned at our new check-in kiosk in the front office. You will also be asked to share information such as your name, date, time of check-in, reason for visit, and where you're going. Once all of the information is entered, a screen is completed before a temporary badge is then printed out for you to wear for the duration of your visit.
If you do not have a driver's license on hand at the time of your visit, another form of photo identification will be required.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this as we continue to evolve our security measures to ensure the safety of you and your child in our school community. If you have any questions, please reach out to our main office.

8th Grade
Groundhog Job Shadow

This is a wonderful opportunity for 8th grade students to experience the world of work and be exposed to a career that may hold some interest for them. Follow up projects will take place after their day of shadowing including composition of a proper thank you letter. Teachers will make every effort to visit as many of the students in their work environment as possible. Transportation to and from the job shadow site is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.
