Fall pictures will be taken Friday, September 6th. How to dress -- simple is best! Stick with a simple light to medium toned (not too dark) shirt or dress with no writing or logos. Avoid white, black, neon, or busy patterns.

Good evening!! Thank you so much for coming to open house last night!! I had a few commonly asked questions that I would like to clarify!
**Dress code** The only changes are no rubber or soft sole sandals/slides or flip flops, any jeans with holes at the knee or above must have leggings under them.
**Arrival/ Dismissal** Middle school car rider students will continue to be dropped off in the front (no earlier than 7:15) and picked up in the back ( starting at 3:40). They are permitted to enter either door and make their way to the cafeteria. For dismissal, if you have a student at the intermediate school, they will join them in the gym to load cars in the back.
**Breakfast/ Lunch** Breakfast will begin at 7:15 and end at 7:45. Lunch is closed to visitors. Starting in September , students may have visitors and lunch dropped off on Fridays only. Lunches may only be provided by people who are on that students skyward profile. We do not allow lunch to be brought to friends due to safety concerns.
**Electronic devices** Cell phones, watches (that are connected to the internet) and air pods are prohibited once they arrive on campus. They must be kept in their back packs until the first bell and then will be placed in their lockers until the final bell.
**7th grade shot records** There are several 7th grade students who still do not have an updated shot record. They will not be permitted (per state law) to begin school until we have an updated record or a current conscientious objection.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to our office at 903-569-5338!
See you tomorrow!!!
