8th Graders, We Need Your Help!
The 7th grade history team is missing many copies of the novels Code Talkers and Under a War Torn Sky. They were handed out before the pandemic. If you have a copy of these books we lent out last year, please return. There will be a cart set up outside the 8th grade sub school for book drop offs. Thank you for your help as we try to recover lost books.
Buy a Yearbook Today!
Don't delay, we sold out the past two years.

Social Work Spotlight
By Kristen Licciardo
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! We go to the doctor for a physical but often don't do a yearly check on our mental health. Take a free Mental Health Test online. https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/ Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.
Course Selections/Academic Advising
Parents and students can see what classes your child has selected for the 2020-21 school year by looking in StudentVue. Students/Parents will need to log in on a computer as this information is not easily found on a smartphone. This is not the daily schedule, but a list of classes they have signed up for. If your child does not have a complete selection of classes, please email their counselor (see counselor contact information below).
If upon reviewing this information, you decide to make changes to your student’s course request, please notify your child’s counselor. All schedule change requests must be made in writing and completed by June 8th.
