Important Reminders

If your child has not received their required TDAP or have proof of a scheduled appointment by August 5, they will not be allowed to attend school until they have received this immunization.
- You need to have ALL of your required back to school supplies before coming to school. These will not be provided for you by the school so make sure you have your supplies before the year begins. ( Walmart, Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, The Dollar Tree, BJs , Family Dollar are running specials currently.) If you need a list of supplies, please go to the Middle School Website for information.
