Parents, If you would like additional professional pictures to be taken of your senior or of the family with the senior our photographer will be staying at the school to do those after the parade! Just drive back to the school after the parade and park in the back parking lot by the marching band practice field. We will come to you in your car and let you know when it's your turn for pictures!! Those pictures will be available to purchase from Cassidy Dawn Photography. Mrs. Lewis

The parade will disperse from there. Enjoy your evening, Mr. Jones

It will be a drive by drop off set up out front of the MS/HS entrance. Please return the Chromebook and charger during this time. Though the school year is not ending the way we would have hoped it would have, I can truly say I am proud of the efforts of the students during this challenging time. As I have said before, contact us if you have questions or concerns. Have a good evening!

Good Morning, Below is the link to our 33rd Annual High School Academic Awards Ceremony. I speak for our staff, when I say thanks to all the parents and students for what we have accomplished this nine weeks. I want to thank our staff for adjusting quickly, with no preparation, to keep up with their curriculum as much as they could while going online and learning new teaching strategies to adapt to the situation. This nine weeks, we will end up with well over 90% participation online in the end and that is contributed to the resilience our students have shown. I have told the students many times in emails that this is like a marathon. It has been a daunting task, but now we are seeing that finish line. We have kept stepping forward and we are getting through this! Our seniors last online day is this Thursday, May 21st and everyone else will conclude this school year on Thursday, May 28th. Final grades for the 4th nine weeks will be calculated and input into Progressbook by Tuesday, June 2nd. Mr. Jones Stay Warrior Strong! https://youtu.be/Dg47E-nj13Y
