There has been some concern with the traffic and flow of the elementary pickup line after school. While we are working on identifying possible solutions to the congestion on the gravel road, I need you to be aware of traffic, travel cautiously, and be aware of all surroundings. Our top priority is the safety of our students and families.

Senior photos will receive a proof-they will not use this code for ordering.
Seniors need to make sure they have all items they would like to use in the picture ready to go prior to their assigned picture time. If you are wanting to include a jersey or an item you currently don't have in your possession, do not wait until picture day to arrange to get those items. Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions.
Good luck to our Lady Indians tomorrow in the District Championship!!
