With school just around the corner, we want to be sure parents and students are able to access the Student Handbook and take the time to read through the expectations for this school year. A few "Highlights" are shown here - which are valuable "need to know" items for all students and parents.

This is in no way a substitution for the entire student handbook. Please be sure to read through the entire book with your student before school beings on August 13. The handbook can be found at:
