The first days of school can be stressful for students, parents/guardians, and our staff. We are here to help you, and we appreciate your kindness and patience during this time.

We are always overwhelmed with phone calls during the first days of school. If we don’t answer your call, we are speaking with another caller. Please leave a message with your name, phone number, and the reason for your call. We will call you back as soon as possible.

Bus stop pick-up and drop-off times may be delayed during the first days of school. Many of our students are riding the bus for the first time and are adjusting to a new routine. Our drivers want to make sure every child gets to and from school safely.

If you are transporting your child to/from school, allow yourself extra time. Traffic is usually congested around the schools during the first days as everyone adjusts to the traffic pattern and students adjust to the routine. Stay in the pick-up/drop-off lane, drive slowly, and watch for students.

We want every student to have a safe and positive experience, and we thank you for your help.

The Pirates are coming back to school, and we need your help! Please be patient when driving around schools. Traffic is usually congested during the first days as everyone adjusts to student drop-off and pick-up traffic patterns at the schools. Remember that the speed limit is 20 MPH in school zones. Watch for children when driving in your neighborhood as they walk to and from bus stops and schools. Always stop when red lights are flashing on a school bus. Thank you for helping the Pirates have a safe start to the school year!

What do teachers do during the summer? They go to school! High school Intervention Specialist Mrs. Heidi Carter and middle school Career Tech teacher Mrs. Shelley Arnett spent a week at Wright State University for the Muse Machine summer institute for educators. The theme is ‘What the camera asks of us: curiosity, care, and critical thinking.’ Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Arnett are learning about documentary-style filmmaking and how to use these techniques in their classrooms, such as making a documentary about characters in a novel as a form of literary analysis or using the proper audio, lighting, and filming techniques in media arts.
