🎉 Shoutout to our amazing Trailblazers! 🎉

Congratulations to all of our students who received a Positive Recognition Form and earned time in Club SPARK! We loved seeing our Trailblazers enjoy this special reward with a friend during lunch while celebrating their hard work, positive choices, and outstanding character. 🌟

We also want to recognize the students who participated in Trivia Tuesday during lunch, putting their critical thinking skills to the test and having fun while learning! 🧠✨

Keep up the great work, Trailblazers. We are proud of you and can't wait to see even more students earning recognition and joining the fun!

Important Reminders

2026-27 bell schedule, click HERE.
Please talk with your children about the importance of having their IDs accessible to them at all times. All students received a free ID at the start of this school year; therefore, it is expected that they have them available. IDs are required to gain access into the interior buildings, their bus, helps expedite the lunch line during checkout, and helps us identify students, if needed. If your child has lost or broken their ID, that will not excuse them from being late to class and they will be marked tardy if they do not have a pass. Therefore, if you need to purchase a replacement ID via MySchoolBucks, click HERE.
Please review the attached letter about Health Services Consent and updating your clinic information in Skyward:
