AF TER SCHOOL STUDY HALL FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH STUDENTS WILL END AT 4:15 EACH DAY.
This fall, we started an after school study hall for athletes and other middle and high students who were waiting on practices and rides after school. Now that we have entered the spring athletic season, we will continue to hold this study hall until 4:15 at which time all student athletes will be in or ready to begin practices. All students must go to practice or be picked up by a parent at 4:15. Students who do not have a ride at that time are welcome in our after school day care program, and parents will be charged for the after school service. Please talk to your student about this necessary change to pick up time as we want to be sure our students are safe at all times. We appreciate the support as we continue to try our best to serve our families.
