IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Cell Phone Policy
Expectations for cell phone use for all students are as follows:
  1. Phones AND headphones away and out of sight during class. Headphones allowed for instructional programs as assigned by the instructor.
  2. Phones permitted during passing, courtyard time, and meals. Filming others on school grounds is not permitted.
  3. We appreciate your support of this expectation.

If you need to get ahold of your student during school hours, please call 253-298-4300 and office staff will help you get in touch with them immediately.

School Supplies:
The school is providing a binder, 2 spiral notebooks, a science composition notebook, pencils, pens, and highlighters, and student planner. Replacement cost of lost planners are the responsibility of the student/family ($5).
 
These items will be available for pick-up at Back to School Night and the first days of school.
 
Your student will need a backpack and we suggest a refillable water bottle. We will send out additional information for families who are in need of support with additional supplies.

School Portraits:

School portraits and student IDs will be available for purchase during Back to School Night. We will also have an opportunity for families to take a photo through our CTE department (we provide the backdrop, you style the family however it suits you) - we will share the digital file with you for free.

Class Registration:
All students are currently being registered in their classes now; no action is necessary from families. Schedules are planned to be distributed on the first day of school. If this changes to an earlier date, we will let you know.

Student Laptops:
Student laptops will be housed at school. An acceptable use agreement will be distributed the first days of school; damages or loss of laptops is the responsibility of families.

Transportation:
If your student is riding the bus, you can find your route information here.
