8th Grade Tranisition Meetings

Lost and Found
Our lost and found is overflowing! Please click here to take a look at the items we have collected so far this year to see if any belong to your family. Your child can pick their things up from the office lobby.
Food Deliveries
Just a reminder that no food deliveries are allowed this year. Parents can drop off a lunch from home if a student forgets, but please do not drop off pizza, subs, or other restaurant food. Thank you for your help!
