2020-2021 Schedule Availability
We realize schedules were viewable in Home Access last week for a very short period of time. These schedules ARE NOT FINAL. We have been continuing to make changes over the last week as we finalize and balance courses. Schedules will be available in the student’s Home Access account very soon for families that have finished registration and residency and have submitted the required health records for 12th and 9th grade students. Once your schedule becomes available, if you want to make a change, you MUST submit a schedule change request at https://forms.gle/2X47LMkpgfB5zbqMA. Please do not contact your counselor directly, as this may delay the change and your ability to get a different course. We have counselors on duty Tuesday-Thursday the remainder of the summer that will process these change requests. Changes are made on a space available basis only and some changes will not be possible. We do not make changes for lunch or teacher requests. -

Summer Reading 2020
Need a break from Netflix? Rediscover your love of reading this summer with the perfect social-isolation activity: binge-reading. Your teachers have hand-selected for you a list of 40 books that will help you escape, make you laugh, or cry, or think. The lists are divided into book lists for each grade level, but feel free to choose any book on any list that you finding interesting. And once you finish one book, you’ll probably want to go back to the list to find another title. You can find the book lists (and links to book trailer videos) here and descriptions of all the books in a slide deck here.
