We have a fantastic new communication tool called Rooms.

Rooms also allow messages to be sent back and forth between the school and home! If you have any questions, please email or call Mr. Hoffek
Students: Please remember to use the restroom when you are dismissed from the cafeteria at lunch before you go outside. 7th Grade Students, go directly back to your 5th-hour class after lunch. There is no reason for 7th Graders to be on the Garden Level when you come inside from lunch.
