Beginning Today, October 8th, the bell schedule will be adjusted to allow for better lunch transitions. The updated schedule is linked here. The lunches will now dismiss with three minutes in between each lunch so that we don’t have students coming and going at the same time. We will also have a signal/chime at 2:12 to release the first floor for dismissal. This is for safety and order in the halls.
