First offense is a 3-day suspension & notification of parents. Second offense is a 5-day suspension & notification of proper authorities. Third offense is a 5-day suspension & notification of proper authorities and possible expulsion recommendation. Thank you. ……...John Wilber, Principal…..

STUDENTS & PARENTS:
1. The district office has asked us to remind you that we only have a 2 week break during the Winter Holiday. Please remind your parents that we expect you all to stay in school until the final day – December 19th. We will continue to remind you at times during the rest of the year. This generally is a time when we have a high absence rate, and we are hoping that by reminding your families early, they will plan to postpone any holiday travel until after December 19th. Thank you.
