Important message from admin regarding morning arrival time

The front doors of our building open at 7:35 a.m. to welcome students. If you are dropping off your child, please try to have them here by 7:50 a.m. the latest. The first bell rings at 7:57 a.m. for students to go to their lockers, and period 1 begins at 8:03 am. Recently, we have had a number of students being dropped off at 8 a.m. who then have to wait in line to pass through security and then grab breakfast, which results in them being late for class. Thank you for your partnership.
