Welcome Back Trojans! School starts tomorrow. Doors open at 7:30 and breakfast will be served in the cafeteria for GS students and the commons area for HS students.
Good morning! We have a few changes to our car rider procedures this year. In the mornings, all grade school car riders will be dropped off at Door #2 starting at 7:30 a.m.
For afternoon pickup, parents will enter the line from Chestnut Street (near the track), drive through the side parking lot, and continue to the back lot where students will be loaded at Door #15. After pickup, cars will drive across the back lot and exit on the high school side of the building onto 6th Street. Please remember, parents must stay in their vehicles during dismissal and use extra caution for other traffic and students leaving for the day. Thank you for helping us keep things safe and running smoothly!

Attention Families: Bus routes for the school year have not changed from last year.

Any new students or students that have not rode before that will need bus transportation should contact the office by Tuesday no later than 1pm to be assigned to a route.
As always with the first few days of school, please allow for extra time for pick up and drop off.
