Uniforms are not required, however, students must adhere to the dress code. 

Student IDs must be worn at all time as part of the dress code. Students will not be allowed on the bus without their ID. If students deface, destroy or lose their ID, they will be required to purchase a replacement ID.

Students must achieve a 1.0 or D average in each academic class to qualify for the eighth grade promotion ceremony. If a student earns an “F” in the last quarter, this will influence the privilege(s) of attending the promotion activities. If a student is suspended at the time of the eighth grade promotion ceremony, he or she will not earn the right to participate. Students who have received multiple disciplinary actions for significant behavior resulting in suspension(s) will be in jeopardy in not participating in promotion activities.

Breakfast and lunch are provided free of charge to all students.

Breakfast is served each morning for all students. Children may choose to eat breakfast or not. However, children need to be on time to eat breakfast in their classroom.

Lunches are served daily in the cafeteria.
