Adolescence is a tough time for parent and child alike. It is a time between: between childhood and maturity, between parental protection and personal responsibility, between life stage- managed by grown-ups and life privately held. - Anna Quindlen

SENIOR PORTRAITS: All Seniors will have their portraits taken on Tuesday, September 17 or October 25 in the US Commons and outdoors for their yearbook photo. Portraits may be purchased, but this is optional. These portraits will be used for our yearbook and it is required that they be taken. There is a casual and a formal portrait taken of each of our seniors. Please click the link to sign up for your senior portrait session. 

PARKING: Student parking tags are available in the US office. In order to pick up your parking tag, your form and payment must be submitted to Mrs. Blake.  

UNIFORMS: There have been inventory issues with Dennis Uniform. Please do your best to approximate our uniform dress code while this is resolved. For the most part, all of our students have been in the proper uniform.  Thank you for your efforts and patience. School Uniform Store
