Welcome Back!
Welcome Back!
We're looking forward to welcoming our R.E.A.L. Falcons back to our building for the 2025-2026 school year!
Students will receive their ID cards and lanyards from their homeroom teacher on Monday. Car rider/walker/transportation tags will also be handed out in homeroom.
Please remember to have your student charge their Chromebooks and bring their devices and charging cords with them everyday. For students that did have a device assigned to them at Open House, we will be distributing these on Monday and Tuesday.
Student schedules can be found in the ParentVUE and StudentVUE portals.
We're excited for an amazing school year and appreciate all of your support!
