LCU's Romeyo Kirven spoke with our Seniors today about "Unleashing Peace, Power, & Purpose". He inspired our students to look for opportunities beyond high school. Some of the key takeaways were: -You'll never find what you're not looking for. -Adversity gives way to opportunity. -Pain gives birth to purpose. -Let your mess be your message. Thank you, Mr. Kirven, for a positive experience!

Wednesday, September 27, is PICTURE DAY! Dress your best! We will also be taking Senior pictures along with Football, Cross Country and Cheer sports pictures.

In addition, your child is required to complete a Vaping Education course approved by the district & produce a certificate of completion before they are admitted back into the regular classroom.

ATTENTION JH/HS PARENTS: If you have not completed this Google Form for your child/children, please do so as soon as possible! This form allows us to know who has authorization to pick your child up from school. We will not be able to release your child/make contact with anyone not listed on this form. Please complete one form for each child. Thank you! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12N2D5XJxMpvYXbzAz8FnqkgmPNfRx_APFickiH-bU1k/edit

Parents, we need your help! We are seeing a lot of tiny tops at the JH & HS level. Please be aware that shirts exposing the midriff are not allowed. If your child wears a shirt that hits at the waistband area, they should have an undershirt tucked into their pants so no skin is exposed. Students will be given one opportunity to comply if dress-coded. Thank you for your help in this matter!
