Why the delay?
Final safety checks and construction work are still in progress, and we are required and want to ensure every safety code is fully met before welcoming students back into the building. Your child’s safety is always our top priority.
📅 Important Dates:
• Monday, August 18 – Athletic practices begin (practice schedule coming soon)
• Tuesday, August 19 | 4–6 PM – Small Open House for students & parents
• Wednesday, August 20 – First Day of School
