NEW CLASS REGISTRATION TIME
Class registration for grades 7-12 will be Monday August 10th from 11AM-7PM and Tuesday August 11th 9AM-5PM.
It is with heavy hearts that we share that our school community has experienced the loss of one of our students.
In a small community, a loss like this is felt by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the student's family, friends, classmates, and everyone whose life has been touched by this tragedy. We ask that you keep them in your hearts and respect their privacy during this incredibly difficult time.
We know that each person processes grief differently, and no one should have to do so alone. School counselors and support staff will be available today from 12:00–2:00 p.m. for any students, staff, families, or community members who would like someone to talk with or simply a quiet place to gather.
Additional counseling and support services will continue to be available for students and staff in the days ahead. If you or your child needs support, please don't hesitate to reach out to the school.
As we support one another in the days ahead, may we continue to show the compassion, kindness, and strength that make our school and community so special.
