TUTORING: Tuesday mornings from 7:00 – 8:00 AM and Thursday afternoons from 2:35 - 3:35 PM, there will be an opportunity for students to have extra help with their homework and/or assignments with tutors in the art room. It is an open door and you don’t have to stay the full hour.
Students that walk to school: The state and local police have contacted the school district to request that students need to be very cautious when walking to school. This includes wearing bright or reflective clothing, staying off of the main roads, and walking single lines when cars are driving by. This is for your safety especially with our icy and snowy roads.
IF YOU NEED TO LEAVE SCHOOL EARLY (for an appointment, etc.) please bring a note from your parents. Keep the note with you to show your teacher so you can get out of class. Turn the note in to the office when you sign out. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GET YOU OUT AND WHERE YOU NEED TO GO ON TIME. Also, if you have a note, please be sure to check out of class and be ready to go on time! It is your responsibility to watch the clock!
BUS PASS REQUESTS MUST BE WRITTEN (by a parent), turned in to the office BEFORE SCHOOL and must have the address and name of the bus. Passes requested before school can be picked up DURING LUNCH & AFTER SCHOOL ONLY.
If you’re under 18 and have a job, you must have a WORK PERMIT! Pick one up in the high school office.
