Student Forgot Something? Don't worry! You can drop off something to your student. Just go into the front office, drop off the item on the table just to the left of the front door, and ask the front desk to sign in your item. Don't leave anything at school without signing it in at the front desk.
School Dances There are two main school dances: Homecoming and Prom. Many freshman go to homecoming. Most go in groups of friends, but some may have a date. There is no need to get really dressed up for homecoming, though students usually wear something special. The dance is a fun and safe environment with different themes each year.
