    • You can locate your students ID on copies of your report card.

How to navigate the senior lot

  • You are always better off being early and park closer to the front of the lot next to the road that leads out. This makes for a swift exit. 
  • Have a plan for how to get to the parking lot fast. 
  • Don’t get frustrated with traffic, nobody wants to get in an accident right after school. 

Tips for the virtual classroom

  • Be as connected with your teachers and faculty as possible! 
  • Know what resources are available and make sure to read daily emails being pushed to you, they often have important school and community events mentioned. 
  • Schedule time with your teachers even if it’s just to get to know them.
    • This situation can be isolating on both ends if your teachers want to talk to you. 
  • Try to have a good understanding of who your grade principal is, your counselor, etc. these people are put in place just to help you.
