Dear Students and Parents,
The student schedules have been completed and will be made available through the Focus Parent/Student Portal.

Should you have difficulties logging in to the site Click on the Forgot Password Link and follow the instructions.
The process of scheduling should be taken very seriously by both students and parents/guardians. School counselors are always available and should be consulted regarding all scheduling issues. Scheduling begins in the spring for the upcoming school year. Students must schedule for the entire school year. Students are permitted to attend only those classes for which they are scheduled. Students will be given a scheduling form and a Course Selection Handbook to review with their parents/guardians.
It is highly recommended that parents/guardians and students work together in building a schedule. The scheduling form must be signed by the parent/guardian and returned to the Main Office. If no form is returned, the student will be scheduled last into whatever courses are still available. Schedule changes are highly discouraged, and will only be approved in extreme cases. All scheduling changes must be approved by the principal. Students will not be permitted to enter a new class without proof that the schedule change has been approved by the Office of Student Services and Administration.
Students will also have the schedules available in the High School Office beginning Monday, August 14, 2023.
Sincerely,
Mr. Sakai
Junior-Senior High School Principal

Day 2 of CampIWannaLearn is making us want to go camping "forest" of our lives...and there "s'more!"
Today campers explored outside and found objects that could then be used to learn about measurements and weights in the classroom.
Campers have also been learning about money and budgeting by paying for their own lunches with "fake funds." It was one of their favorite parts of the day!
