A few weeks ago we informed you that we were moving away from early release days for the majority of the school year. As an update, we are changing the start time of the Late Start. Late Start will now begin at 9:00 AM.
We recognize that this change may impact work schedules for some families. To accommodate this, students may arrive at the Student Center by 8:00 AM where they will be supervised. Please note that once students arrive and check in with the supervising adult, they will not be allowed to leave campus. Breakfast will not be provided on late start days.
Students should report by 9:00 AM on the following dates: 9/11, 10/9, 11/13, 1/15, 2/12, 3/12, and 4/9.
All schedule changes will be completed by Tuesday, September 3. Students should follow their schedule in Blackbaud. Thanks for your patience.
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We encourage you all to attend Curriculum and Parent Night on Wednesday, September 4, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. You'll hear from your the administration team including our new President, Dave Vitatoe and Principal, Erin Faetanini, and meet the Counselors and the rest of the administration team.
Plus, you will have the opportunity to follow both your student's GOLD day and GREEN day schedules and spend a few minutes with each of your child's teachers. Please be sure to print out a copy of your student's GOLD day and GREEN day schedules, or be able to log into Blackbaud to access them from your cell phone.
There will be opportunities to get involved, volunteer and sign up for The Parent's Club, Booster Club, Campus Ministry and more! We look forward to seeing you there!
