Welcome to School!

It was so wonderful seeing our students on campus today. There was comradery and joy at every turn. I am truly grateful for our community and the opportunities ahead of us this year.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through traffic and parking. We are evaluating traffic with the support of Archway Arete and have engaged police support to allow traffic to move off of the lot faster. 

Each grade level will be emailing out grade level specific expectations next week. Your child(ren) received these today in their classes - this supports our work as a community to raise our conduct, dress and campus to new levels of excellence.

Technology:

We are passionately committed to drawing these boundaries which allow our student to be fully present for the content of their classes and with their peers. We know that there are many demands on students lives and schedules. If you need help contacting your student during the day you can call the front office.
