Planners & ID Cards – Students NEED both!

At the beginning of the school year, students were issued planners.  Planners are to be brought to each class to record activities and/or homework.  They are a means of communication between classroom happenings and home.  If your student has lost his/her planner, a new one may be purchased in the office for $5.00.

Also, every student was given a student ID card after pictures were taken (regardless of whether photos were purchased or not).  The ID card is necessary for checking out books from the media center.  Like the planners, lost cards can be replaced in the office for a fee.
