Please Note:

• Teachers will provide updated class related information on the class Schoology page. Parents who are unable to access Schoology may contact Counselor Stephanie Franklin and Instructional Lead Teacher Adrian Booker. Our endeavor is to provide real-time updates using the Schoology Platform.

• Students dropped off before 8am and picked up after 4:30pm will not have LRSD Security or SRO (LRPD) supervision. Please make a point to adhere to the establish school hours.
