Backpack update. We have received confirmation that the backpacks are now at the vendors embroidery shop. Initially, we were going to wait for parents to pay when the backpack came in, but we have to change that policy. If you have ordered a backpack, come by the high school office or send a check with your student to pay. We have to build up our high school activity account to be able to place the order. Thank you for your understanding.
