News from the Office:
- Please plan ahead for transcript requests. Expect a 3-6 business day turnaround time on completing transcript requests.
- Dismissal Alert: Please ensure you are parking in an actual, lined parking spot and walking up to your child’s teacher for safe and secure hand-off. Stopping and parking your car in the driving lanes prevents people from exiting their parking spot and results in children walking unattended in the parking lot. It also blocks driving lanes and creates an unsafe environment. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Late students will not be permitted in class until the class finishes any pending assessments.

Make up tests for travel will not be scheduled.
Doesn’t it bring great peace to know that God’s mercies and faithfulness are new every day and never cease!
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness! ~ Lamentations 3:22-23
Have a great weekend!
