Locker Cleanout
Due to Covid-19 students had to leave their personal belongings in lockers mid school year and were not permitted to get items due to health regulations. Now that the school may be reopening, we have created a plan to allow students from the 2019-2020 school year to retrieve their personal belongings from lockers on April 9th and April 10th. All details will be disclosed via Parent Square , please ensure you are signed up to prevent missing any announcements. If you have any additional questions please reach out to DarrenFrazier@achievementfirst.org or tiarradickens@achievementfirst.org.

**** please inform students the registration link for locker clean out will be sent via Parentsquare***
