IMPORTANT OPEN HOUSE UPDATE
Due to the district’s Student Data Management system transition, student class schedules will not be available during Open House.
During Open House, students will only be able to find out their Homeroom assignment. We aim to provide students with printed copies of their full class schedules during Homeroom on Monday, August 3.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we prepare for the start of the 2026–2027 school year. We look forward to seeing everyone at Open House!
