General Information
Please visit our 6-12 Athletics page for the most up-to-date information regarding the 2025 – 2026 athletic seasons.
All parents are encouraged to wear a parent badge when entering school facilities which will avoid the need to provide other identification.
How to Get a Parent Badge:
1) Take a high-resolution photo of yourself.
– The photo should be against a plain/solid-color background.
– The photo should be taken from the shoulders, up (like a driver’s license photo).
– You should not be wearing sunglasses, a hat, or any other obstructive articles of clothing.
– Photo should be in .jpeg format
2) Email your photo, along with the name you want to appear on your parent badge and your child’s name, to our K-3 Building Secretary, Erin Gilmore, at [email protected].
– Please match the name on your parent badge to your name as it appears on a government-issued photo ID.
3) Pick up your parent badge!
– If your child is a current student, your completed parent badge will be sent home with your child. Please allow one week for completion and delivery.
– If your child is a new student for the 2025 – 2026 school year, your completed parent badge will be available for pick-up closer to the beginning of the new school year.
4) If you have any questions about parent badges, please contact Erin Gilmore at [email protected].
This year’s Summer Semester will be full of opportunities for credit recovery, elective credits, fine arts credits, sports camps, and enrichment programs. For more information, including a full list of course offerings, a link to registration, and available discounts, please visit our Summer Semester webpage.
