Tax receipts were emailed to all primary contacts on January 7th and 8th, by grade level. In the event you have more than one student enrolled, you will receive a separate email for each. If you did not receive a tax receipt or have any questions regarding your statement, please email Lori Liner.

Please remember that students may only be dropped off or picked up in the designated school carline in the mornings and at dismissal. Parents should not park in the student parking lot, use the front Hollywood Road entrance, or use the Brother's Hall lot for morning drop off or dismissal. Students who do not follow these protocols will receive disciplinary consequences. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Please review the attendance policy for before and after-school extracurriculars/ athletics: If absent for more than 1 period, a student MAY NOT attend or participate in any athletic event, practice, or school activity on the date of that absence. Special permission may be made by the administration for educational absences and extenuating circumstances.
