After school program & Extracurricular activities

If you are staying after school for ANY reason (clubs, sports, etc), we need you to complete this registration form to ensure we have the correct emergency contact information. All students staying after school for any reason now need to check in at the MPR (sign in), then go to their respective activity. While in the MPR you will also have the opportunity to get a snack from the cafeteria.

Important Reminders

Come in Dress Code every day. If you need assistance purchasing clothes, please inform the main office. Students out of dress code are subject to a $15 charge for replacement items.
School attendance is extremely important Be sure you are in class on time every day to every class. This helps ensure that you are not missing important learning, and it helps fund important programs at the school!
Be sure to be present and on time to every class every day. Remember, we will be enforcing our attendance policy as outlined in the student handbook.
