Student Expectations at Games
Please remember that it is a privilege for our students to participate in athletics and activities. It is also a privilege for students to attend events and support their peers. When our students attend a home athletic event or activity, it is the responsibility of the parents to make sure their child(ren) are sitting down with them. Please do not allow your child(ren) to run around during these events as it creates a safety issue. Students who are asked more than once, may be asked to leave the event or activity.

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be 10/24 & 10/25.
The JR/SR High School will hold conferences 10/24 from 4:30pm-7pm & 10/25 from 8am-Noon.
The Elementary School will hole conferences 10/25 from 8am -4pm w/lunch Noon-1pm.
Look for your scheduled appointment coming soon.
