From Mrs. MacManus, the School Nurse: If your child is not feeling well, please monitor how they are and do NOT send them to school if they are sick. With the cold and flu season in full swing, we want to keep all of our staff and students healthy and safe. Your cooperation with this is appreciated. 

For the Class of 2026: As college acceptances start to roll in, please be sure to contact Ms. Markert and the counseling office so that they are aware and help to make sure everything is taken care of with your college of choice.
