Events & Announcements
This verse was not only a blessing to the believers at Corinth but to all who have been saved by grace through faith. ALL Christians are sanctified in Christ. As a result, every follower of Jesus Christ is a saint. In its most basic sense, a saint is a “holy one,” someone who is set apart for God's special purposes. By His grace He has set us all apart for His good purpose so that in His strength, we may complete the good work that He foreordained that we should walk in.
Remote Learning Day and Holiday
Friday, 9/1 will be our first remote learning day of this school year. This is not a day off but a time to embrace what learning looks like outside of the physical classroom and done so asynchronously. While our students are working remotely this also provides a time for teachers to engage in professional development and have a focused time on our schoolwide improvement plan.
Remote learning days are included in our regular academic calendar and students are responsible for assignments in the classes that would be regularly scheduled on the remote learning day. Teachers will be providing specific instruction for completing assignments for classes that fall in Blocks 2, 4, and 6. Monday, 9/4 Labor Day - school wide holiday.
Did you miss picture day?
Have no fear as Lifetouch will be near - in fact, the makeup/retake day is scheduled for Friday, 10/13

Dress Code Guidelines
While we are not approving dresses this year, you must meet the following guidelines in order to enter the dance. Attire will be reviewed upon entry and is at the discretion of the HS Leadership Team.
Girls’ Attire Guidelines:
No tight form-fitting dresses or skirts. The hemline at the bottom needs to be wide from front to back so that there is a good bit of space between your thighs and your dress.
Dresses should be of modest length providing full coverage (about 3 inches above the knee with bicycle shorts underneath)
Rompers are acceptable, but they must be fingertip length and non-form fitting.
No low necklines. Yet, before you pass on a great dress, consider adding some additional fabric that is not see through or wear a modesty panel. See the cute modesty panels they have on Amazon.
Make sure your attire does not have sheer see through material from chest down.
Slits should not go higher than 3 inches above the knee.
The back of the dress should be raised to not have any view or exposure of the small of the back. Use the natural waistline as the guide
Sides of the dress should fully wrap to the back and at a minimum to cross the midline of the side of the body
If dresses have lace as a top layer, the underlayer can not be close to your skin tone because it gives the impression we are seeing your skin. This means that a nude/skin tone underlay is not approved.
Two-piece dresses are allowed, but must have no more than two fingers of space in between the top and the skirt, even while hands are raised.
GIRLS – pierced jewelry is limited to earrings (no nose piercings).
Tattoos of any nature cannot be exposed on campus or at school-related functions.
Guys’ Attire Guidelines:
Nice Casual pants free from holes, rips, or tears.
Collared button down or polo shirt (Must stay buttoned all night)
Ties, bowtie, sport jackets are optional
No pierced jewelry is allowed at school-related functions.
Tattoos of any nature cannot be exposed on campus or at school-related functions.
