Daily School Opening Time:Since the buses are timed to have students arrive as close to 8:30 A.M. as possible, we would encourage town students to not arrive before that time either, unless previous arrangements have been made with the principal.Home Ec. & Shops:Grades 7 and 8 attend Day 2 - P.M. Students attending Home Ec. and Shops should have a signed note from parents if they go downtown. This practice, however, is discouraged, since students miss important and often necessary time out of Home Ec. and Shops classes.Report Cards:The same report for the three terms is sent home each time. Spaces are provided on the report for grading and comments in each term. Therefore, we request parents to sign and return these reports on Parent Interview Day. Students are cautioned to take good care of these report cards, since only the one will be sent home and returned each term.Milk:Chocolate milk are available for purchase at noon. Cost is .75. Prepayment plan is encouraged.Pizza Days:We sell pizzas on Tuesdays, beginning in November.
