Attention to those students who wish to park their cars at school during the day. Please come to the office for a Parking Registration Form either before school, on your lunch, or after school. Our office staff will assist you in next steps to register your vehicles and get you situated with parking at school. We are trying to give students time to register their vehicles with us. Beginning next week, we will be tagging vehicles without parking permits to come to the office to register. Please don’t park your vehicles without registering, if students continue to park their cars without registering them, we will have those vehicles towed. If you’re parking here for one day, please let the office know.”
Today's lunch feature in the cafeteria is Tacos for $2.75 and loaded Nachos for $6.25. There is not a lot of room in the cafeteria so if you are not making a purchase please wait for your friends outside the cafeteria so that we may get them in and out quickly. There is now a second debit machine to help get students in and out quickly as well, so if you are not buying hot food head to the second register.
