Lost & Found
As temperatures fluctuate during the day - students take off their jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, etc. and leave them in random places. As we collect these items, we broadcast them across the in-school monitors & ask students to claim the missing items in the counselor's office. If your child has misplaced something, please have them check lost & found. All remaining items will be donated before Winter Break.
