Welcome to the 2021-22 School Year!
Some important information you can use before the first day of school this Wednesday, September 1st.
Students will enter the building in the morning either through the entrance where our busses drop off, or at the main entrance. Students will not have to complete a Skyward wellness check, nor will we be taking the temperature of any student unless they relay to us they are not feeling well or it is obvious from their behavior that they are ill. After students enter the building they can receive a school provided breakfast and eat in the commons at a table. If a student is not eating breakfast, they will be asked to move to their first class of the day. If students would like to talk to friends prior to the start of the day, they should remain outside in our courtyard area and stay safely distanced until the first bell rings at 7:30. We will be installing a covered area over the courtyard soon, before our fall and winter rainy season begins.
New Daily Schedule
Due to distancing requirements and space constraints, we will only be offering breakfast for students in the morning before school starts. Breakfast will be served between 7:15 and 7:30. We will no longer have a 10 minute break at the end of first period on Monday or after Advisory on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Again, students who wish to eat a school provided breakfast will need to be at school between 7:15 and 7:30. Our new schedule is as follows.
