Next week your student will receive their scheduling paperwork for the 2022-2023 school year. Your student will bring home a scheduling form (PINK for incoming 6th graders). This form will require 14 checkmarks (one per semester) and a place to list alternate course choices.

Update from Butler County Health Department

Yesterday we notified families regarding a gastrointestinal virus that is going around.  The health department is saying that persons with this illness should remain home for 48 to 72 hours after the symptoms have passed to limit the spread.  As of today we had about 10% of our students home with these symptoms.
