Enjoy these 8th-grade service project photos! The students took charge, selecting and organizing their own project to support Orphans of the Storm, an organization dedicated to helping animals in need. They created materials, blankets, and toys to bring comfort to the animals.

Away for the Day

We’d like to share our policy regarding phones and smartwatches (e.g. Gizmos, Apple Watch) at school. We understand this serves as a useful tool to communicate with your child. However, we kindly ask that students turn their personal devices off and store them in their backpack so they are “Away for the Day.” Please know that changes in your child’s dismissal will be communicated with your child directly.  If you need something during school hours, please call or email or call the school office.
