Students being dropped off can report directly to the cafeteria where they will be supervised until the first bell at 7:25am.  Students are welcome to bring a book to read or their headphones to listen to music if they would like.

Yes, but cell phones should be turned off and remain in the locker from 7:25-2:17pm.  

  1. What if my student has trouble with their locker?

Teachers will spend a lot of time the first few weeks of school helping students get acclimated to their locker.  If their locker is harder to open we will fill out a locker repair request and ask for it to be oiled.  This generally solves the problem!  If your student is still struggling after that we will look for a locker that is a better fit for your student.
