On the first day of school your child will receive:

Student Planner

The student planner must be brought to every class every day for the rest of the year. If it becomes lost, a new one must be purchased at the front office.

An Emergency Card

Fill this out on both sides and return on Tuesday to your child’s 1st period teacher. This is used by the school nurse in case of emergency.
