Hello Patriots,

This past week we welcomed our students back to school. We had successful class meetings with our students, and we also enjoyed our first pop-up pep rally Friday during lunch. Unfortunately events in the community do interfere with the operations of our school from time to time, and in an abundance of caution for our faculty and students, we went into lock down at dismissal on Friday. I am very proud of the way our students responded, and we were able to safely secure our campus and account for the safety of faculty and students in a matter of minutes. What a great example of Patriot PRIDE! Safety of our students, faculty, and school is our number one priority.


We are giving students the first few weeks to learn where their classes are located and the best way to get from class to class. Starting in two weeks we will begin to implement our new tardy plan. Tardy students will be locked out of class, and they will report to a tardy station to get a pass and a discipline consequence for that tardy. It's important that all students are in class from bell to bell for academic purposes, but it's also a school-safety concern when students are not in class. Please help us enforce this by speaking to you child about the importance of being in class on time.
