Morning Procedures:
Make sure your child is on time for school. Our tardy bell rings at 8:15.
Please do not drop your child off before 7:50. Students can be dropped off at Door 1 (front office) or Door 2 (drop off drive-thru lot).
Students wanting breakfast need to go directly to the gym, and will walk to their lockers after eating.
Once at their locker, students can take out their cold lunch (for those that bring one), and wait in front of their locker until the bell rings at 8:05.
There are always 4 lunch choices: cold lunch (bring lunch from home), deli sub, SBJ, & a hot item (changes daily).
