Q&A

Yes, but we understand circumstances arise that make it impossible. We will be sure to help your scholar on the first day maneuver their way around campus.

Please do! It will be a bit intimidating for a middle school scholar to go through it alone.
Does my scholar have to wear the school uniform to orientation?
No.
Will the nurse and counselor be present at orientation?
Yes.
Can I drop off scholar medications, shot records, and other documentation to the nurse during orientation?
