Homecoming Procedures:  *Attention Parents* If students are planning to go with friends on the bus after school on Friday for homecoming, please make sure you send a note to the office before school or during lunch.  Do not wait until the bell rings as there may not be time or room.  Texts and calls from parents/guardians will not be accepted.  A note from a parent/guardian is required for all bus passes.  This is an extremely busy day in the office so we cannot guarantee your student will get messages.  Please plan ahead and make sure your student knows what they are doing after school for homecoming.  Students will not be allowed to call home during class time.  If your student is a regular bus rider and they are walking or getting picked up, we do not need notes.  We only need notification if your student is riding a different bus with a friend.
