    • Dismissals: Students who will be dismissed during the school day need a note from home signed by a parent or guardian stating the time of dismissal and whether or not the student will return that day. You may write a note or print a dismissal form. Students should bring the note or completed form to the office first thing in the morning. They will be given a pass to leave class at the appropriate time. They should check in at the office as they are leaving and again when they return.

  • Students are not allowed to use cell phones at any time between the start of school at 8:00am and dismissal at 2:36pm. If you need to get a message to your child, you may leave it with Mrs. Hanley. There is a phone in the office that students are allowed to use should they need to reach you.

    Did your child leave something at home? Here's how to deliver it:
    Parents may bring forgotten lunches, homework, gym clothes, etc. to the front office. Please mark all items with your child's first and last name, grade, and team. Items will be left on the cart outside the front door and a staff member will come retrieve them. Students are always welcome to stop by if they are expecting something from home. They don't need to wait to hear from the office.

  • Let us know the bus your child will be riding, along with the specific stop. Your child will then stop by the main office to pick their Bus Pass.
