All students will receive a new copy of their schedule on colored paper in homeroom on the first day. This will be the schedule that they need to follow.

🕒 New Bell Schedule
We have a new bell schedule this year posted below! It will also be posted on the school website for your reference. Please review it so your student is aware of class transitions and lunch times.

🎒 Backpack Policy
Only clear bookbags are allowed on campus. Please make sure your student’s bag meets this requirement.

📱 Yondr Pouches
All students will be issued a Yondr pouch on the first day. Cell phones must be placed in the pouch before entering the building every day and should remain secured during school hours.

Students should be prepared to walk through the CWD (weapons detection) machines each morning. Please avoid bringing unnecessary metal items to speed up the process.
