Individual photos of students in 8th grade will be taken by Paul Cryan Photography on Thursday, September 15 in the school library. A group class photo will also be taken. These photos will be taken in the Library portable. Eighth grade students should wear "business casual" attire representative of their role as our graduating class of 2017 (e.g, Boys should wear a collared shirt and neat trousers. Girls should wear a top that covers shoulders and dresses and skirts should be of modest length.) All other students should wear their "uniform of the day" on 9/15/16.
Hot Lunch Begins on Friday, 9/16/16, for those that pre-ordered. Please remember no "cash & carry" lunches are available. If you did not preorder & prepay for lunches, your child(ren) need to bring a brown bag lunch on hot lunch days. The next opportunity to order hot lunch will be prior to our Christmas vacation. Hot Lunch Volunteers are still needed. If you have completed your Virtus Training, serving hot lunch is a great way to be a part of your child(ren)'s school day. Click here to access the Sign Up Genius for hot lunch volunteers.
