September 5 - NO SCHOOL (Labor Day)

Parents are reminded that students may not walk down Franciscan Way to meet parents in the Community Center parking lot.

All students who walk home must exit the campus via Peachtree Street. Students who ride home in cars can not use Franciscan Way to walk to the Community Center to meet a car.

Franciscan Way is not a pedestrian walkway and there is no sidewalk for pedestrian use. It is not approved for student use. 

Please cooperate. Thank you for your support.

The PowerSchool parent portal will open on Monday, August 29, 2022, for all parents. This will be an excellent time for parents (both new and existing) to set up their new account, link another student, or practice logging into an established account/requesting a password reset. 

The portal is open most of the school year for parents of students in Grades 3-8. The portal closes for report card preparation in November/December, March, and June. The portal is closed, except for report card viewing, for Grades K-2.  

The portal will close for parents of students in Grades K-2 on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.
