School Reminders and Updates

  • Check your schedules in StudentVue as they may be different than what you saw initially or at open house. We have to balance classes and there are always unforeseen conflicts that can create some domino effects.
  • Are you parking at school and have yet to get your car registered in the office? See Mrs. Conlin to get this squared away.
  • Doors are on a timer and open at 7:00am
  • If you know your student will need to leave early from school, please call Mrs. Conlin directly at 810-591-2252 to let us know what time and we will be sure to have your student ready for pick-up. You will not even need to come into the office.

STUDENT LOCKERS

Dear Students and Parents,
We have noticed a significant decrease over the last few years in the number of students who are actively using a locker. We allow backpacks and many classes have online platforms and our students are responding accordingly and not using a locker. We also will be undergoing transformative bond renovations on both ends of our campus-allowing us to make better use of the current locker space in terms of bench seating and/or dedicated signage.

We have removed the assigned lockers from all current students. What that means is NO STUDENTS will be automatically assigned a locker.

All students, including current upperclassmen, who wish to have a locker will need to request a locker. This will help us determine going forward how many lockers we can remove and still be right sized.

If you are one of the many students who never used a locker-congrats you are all set.

If you would like a locker, please fill out the google form: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSc1G1VY86FMs9.../viewform

If you have already submitted the form, we have assigned you a locker, we will do our best to assign the rest as request come in!
