Handbook Review Please take some time to review the Parent & Student Handbook for this year. Students are responsible to read, and are accountable, to abide by the expectations outlined in the handbook. Pay particular attention to the areas on attendance (including tardy policy), iPad use, cell phones, student dress code, and the general code of conduct. Digital Cit izenship On Monday, August 22nd, Karen Haase of KSB Law Firm in Lincoln will be here to present information on the responsibilities and potential dangers involved with Internet and cell phone use. The assembly will be from 9:45AM – 10:45AM. This is extremely valuable information, and for some it can help prevent decisions that have lifetime consequences.

The drills include fire drills, lockout and lockdown drills. In the event of a true emergency, all parents will be alerted through the NotifyMe app. Fall Play/One Act A new script has been chosen for this year’s Fall Play/One Act!
