Welcome Back, High School Students!

As summer vacation draws quickly to its conclusion, we are putting the final touches on preparation to begin another successful year here at the High School. We are very excited to welcome the sixth through eighth grade students to the campus and I am sure that, together, the two schools will be able to offer an even more valuable educational/co-curricular experience through the combination of our resources. Mrs. McDermott, Mr. Klezek, and I have been working closely on a number of innovative ideas and we are anxious to share our efforts with our respective staffs to begin implementation.

Since the Middle and High Schools will be utilizing the same campus there are a few points that I would like to highlight:
  • Both schools will be operating on the same bell schedule with the school day beginning at 7:37 AM and ending at 2:43 PM.
  • All students who ride the buses will be dropped off and picked up at the front of the building where the flag pole is located.
  • All students who are transported to school by parents must be dropped off and picked up at the back of the building through the Middle School lobby.
  • Meet the Teacher Night will be held on September 1st.
  • Students may bring backpacks/book bags to school, but they must remain in their lockers until dismissal.
  • Athletes may keep their athletic gear in the respective male and female team rooms during the school day.
  • Students who drive to school will be issued a parking sticker and a parking slot in which to park upon the completion of the necessary paperwork. Students who drive to school will also enter and leave the building through the Middle School lobby.
  • Please review all of the policies and guidelines contained in the student handbook and return all signed forms in a timely manner. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call the High School office.
