6th Grade Binder Every student is required to have one binder, filled with supplies, that he/she takes to all his/her classes

Why 1 Central Binder? Often students accidently pick up the “wrong” binder from their locker during their 5 minute passing period, and have to leave the classroom to return to their locker during class . 1 binder eliminates this mistake. Cuts down on time spent at lockers during the passing period

Sixth Grade Student Orientation Registration Day will be held August 24th from 8:00AM to 12:00PM Our School Ambassadors will lead campus tours An invitation will be sent to your home
