We want to clarify communication about Wednesdays for our athletes. On Wednesday, student athletes who start practice at 3 pm or 3:15 pm may stay in the high school commons for a supervised study hall.
Reminder that this year, we will not provide an after school study hall for athletes on Mon, Tues, Thur or Friday. We WILL have athletic study hall in the hs commons on Wednesdays due to early dismissal. Practices will start at 3:00-3:15 or will be later in the evening

Good evening families!
We have a reminder about the new arrival and dismissal route. Please refer to the previously sent video and map. We also have some clarification to questions that have been asked.
Monroe will remain a 2-way street. Students who drive to school will take a left in the first parking lot opening when going south on Monroe.
Parents dropping off at the Jr/Sr High School should enter off route 4 to drop off at the commons and will continue to the right onto Monroe St.
Parents who only need to drop off at the elementary school may come in from Route 4 or Monroe St. If coming off Monroe, you will need to make a right onto Mary Jane St.
Building principals will be located on Monroe and Officer Puckett will be assisting traffic at the back Elementary lot. We appreciate your patience as we work through this change for the safety of our students and staff.
