Student Parking Update

Effective Monday, October 16, the new student parking assignments are in effect. All students who have registered their vehicles now have an assigned lot. Students assigned Lot C were notified today. They have all been assigned a space.They have also received a decal to match the numbered space they have been assigned. Those assigned to Lot D can park anywhere in that lot. They will get a decal in the near future. To be clear, no student should park in Lot C without an appropriate decal.

Those students assigned to Lot C:

• Only park in your numbered space. If someone is in your space, park in Lot D for the day. Record the license plate number of the car in your space and alert your House Assistant Principal. Do not park in a different numbered space as this will affect many other student drivers. 

• No students should park in spaces 1-84 nor 131-139. These are staff spaces. See image below.

Progress Reports

Believe it or not, we are halfway through trimester one. As such, we plan to publish progress reports the week of October 23. Please check in with your student to make sure they are doing their best in all of their classes.
