Open campus lunch begins Tuesday, August 18th. There is no mandatory pre-meeting, parents have submitted permission forms during readiness days. This is now available to both Seniors and Juniors.  

Once the new dining commons opens in January, we will reevaluate Juniors status depending on how they handled the open campus privillege during 1st semester.
