The first bell rings to start class at 7:25.  If you plan to use Kiss and Ride, here are the procedures.  Students start the day in an Alpha Room where everyone gets a new schedule.  Here is the link to Alpha Rooms (by grade level)  Students will attend a first day assembly (7th graders first thing). 

Schedules can be accessed online, but all students will be asked to the green schedule they receive in their Alpha Rooms to ensure students are operating with the correct schedule.  Please remind your student to bring the green schedule back on the first day!
