There is an Optional Open House for Returning 7th and 8th grade students (or those 6th graders who want to come back) who wish to walk around the building before the first day of school. This will be from 4:00 - 5:30 PM and it is a drop-in opportunity and students must look up their schedule in Synergy ahead of time and bring it with them (paper copies will NOT be available). Student schedules and locker combinations and assignments will be available in Synergy on August 21.  Parents/Guardians must attend with their child.
 
All students can come to the Open House to walk their schedule, practice their locker, drop off supplies, and/or decorate the inside of their locker.  
 
Our PTSA will have a snow cone truck available for parents and students to purchase a snow cone after orientation and during the Open House. 
 
We understand that not everyone is able to attend- so please do not worry. Our first week is dedicated to welcoming students and assisting them with transitioning to the new year.
