IF you HAVE to bring your electronic devices to school, please keep them in a secure place. Electronic devices are stolen every day, and many of these can be avoided if you take some extra precautions in securing them. Better yet, leave them at home.

Skateboarders – Now that lockers have been distributed, there is no reason for skateboarding on campus!!
