Get ready to raise the standard! As we gear up for the 2026–2027 school year, there are a few important updates you need to know to make this year our best one yet.
Here is everything you need to know before Day 1:
⏰ New Bell Schedule & Start Time
We have a brand new start time this year! Let’s set the tone for success by being on time and prepared:

Measurements: Tops must have a minimum shoulder width of 1 inch, and hemlines for skirts/shorts must be a maximum of 5 inches above the knee.
Hats & Hoodies: Hats are permitted in social and common areas (subject to classroom teacher rules), and hoodies are allowed but hoods must be taken off in classrooms.
Footwear: Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times.
🍔 Chase Excellence, Earn Privileges (Juniors & Seniors!)
