Parents and Students

Yes. It is the expectation that all students are in uniform on the first day of school unless written permission has been given from building leadership.

Uniforms are required Similar to athletics, wearing uniforms in school builds community and camaraderie amongst the students. Having them wear uniforms ensures they all know they’re on the same team and should work together in our school environment. 

We understand kids play and many times mean no harm. However, horseplay can be misinterpreted and leads to more aggressive behaviors. This can cause hurt feelings or the need to retaliate, then horseplay gets out of hand. Oftentimes horseplay is meant to be funny, but injuries are the unintended end result. Horseplay is discouraged and will result in disciplinary action.  

School starts at 7:40. Any student arriving after 8:00 is required to have a parent sign them in so we can ensure the parent is aware of the vast time gap and tardiness. If the parent/guardian is unavailable to physically sign in, they can call the main office to verify. 

MiStar Parent Portal is our system giving you access to student grades and other important information. It also allows you to make updates to some student information. Visit our "Parents and Students" page for a link to the MiStar Parent Portal.
