Staying involved in your student’s education helps build strong partnerships between home and school.  We encourage all families to attend.

      • High school parents can arrive between these times to have a meeting with their student's teacher.  It will be a first come first serve.

Students and families are encouraged to use the "Say Something Anonymous Tip Line" to report any concerns about safety, including potential drug-related activities. This tool helps empower our school community to play an active role in keeping our environment safe.
