6th Grade and New Student and Family Orientation

Tuesday, August 16th from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM we will host our orientation.  The event is going to be set up like a scavenger hunt.  You will need about 30 minutes to complete the orientation.  At the end, you will have an understanding of the campus, our services, and support, and get a chance to gather some cool gifts/snacks.  We are collaborating with our School Linked Services team to put on this event.  School Linked Services is a collaboration with community resources to support families with a variety of needs and opportunities.

Returning Student Schedules

Returning students will view the schedules online in PowerSchool.  Schedules will be made available on August 16th at 5:00 PM.
