Students waiting outside should dress for weather. Teachers arrive at 8:35 AM, please note there is no supervision before 8:45 AM. Please do not drop students off before then. School starts at 9:10 AM. -8:45 AM: Students will be allowed to enter the building with a pass from a teacher -8:50 AM: Students may enter for breakfast -9:06 AM: Students enter for the school day
The end of FIRST QUARTER is this Friday, which is also a 2-hour early out! Does your student have a grade they want to bring up? Encourage them to talk to the teacher! They could ask the teacher to come in before school or during Verkstad!
