Schedule Pick Up Days

By now you all should have received the new school year information packets in the mail, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of the upcoming schedule pick up days!

Tuesday, August 13th: 

9th graders - 8:30 - 11:00am 
All students new to the district (regardless of grade) - 8:30 - 11:00am
12th graders - 12:30 - 3:00pm

Wednesday, August 14th:
11th graders - 8:30 - 11:00am
10th graders - 12:30 - 3:00pm

Don't forget, schedule pick up day is packed with lots of activities - finding your locker, getting your school picture taken, picking up your books, etc. (All non-freshmen students need to bring your ID's with you... the freshmen will have their ID cards made while at schedule pick up.)


This year, one new addition is that parents are now asked to update emergency medical information  online instead of having to write out the same repetitive information on multiple cards.  Dr. Trent Bowers posted detailed information on his blog regarding this process and I suggest that you read it and then follow the steps he outlines.

Additionally, Dr. Bowers blogged about the fact that parents can now pay fees online.  Here is a link to the post that he wrote about this new opportunity.  When I think back to past years where so many students forgot to bring in the check for school fees and had to go back home or go to meet up with their parents to get a check for the fees, I have to believe this is going to be a significant improvement.

I know that every year there are questions about what you should do if you are not available to attend on your designated schedule pick up day.  If you cannot pick up your schedule and books on your designated day you can come to school on the other schedule pick-up day.  If you will not be able to attend either day, then you will not be able to pick up your schedule and get your books until the 1st day of school.  Please plan on coming to school early on the 1st day if you are picking up your schedule and turning in any remaining forms and fees.

I'm sure it will be a few crazy days in my office, but I am looking forward to seeing you!
