Summer information for the High School:
1) If you need to come into the building as a visitor, you will need to enter through the elementary office. Please call ahead to make sure that someone is here to let you in.
2) As a result of construction, access to phones and internet is sporadic. Please be patient if you are trying to get ahold of someone. Email is probably your best bet, since we can check that off site.
3) If you have to get ahold of someone for a time sensitive issue, please contact the district office, so that they can get ahold of someone. Building secretaries are off for the summer after May 26th.
