✨ Featured Video: Finding the Truth — Francis Chan


We’re sharing a powerful trailer from Francis Chan’s Finding the Truth series on RightNow Media. It’s a great reminder of why it’s so important to seek and stand firm in God’s truth. We encourage our older students (and parents too!) to take

a few minutes to listen and be inspired!

REMINDER: Students are considered tardy after 8:12 am. Tardies accumulate for each quarter. At three (3) tardies, the student will begin losing break or recess privileges in order to make up any work missed. After six (6) unexcused tardies, students will begin serving a ½ hour detention starting at 3:30 pm for each additional tardy in that quarter. A $10 fee will be assessed to the parent for each detention served to cover the cost of a detention supervisor.

Lunch Update: Starting this year, school lunches will be $4.00 and will include a milk each day. Thank you for your continued support!
