Parents will park in the last row on the carline side (see map) and be allowed to enter at 1:45 through the door located by the girls' locker room (see map). Parents will need to scan our QR code to sign in to keep a record of who is in attendance. We will have a few Red Jackets by the door asking you to sign in. Once you have signed in, please show the red jacket that you signed in.
The map below also shows you were parents will need to sit. Please stay in these areas so we can fit our students in their assigned areas.
Students cannot checkout after 1:45 since we will be in a Pep Rally. It will be too hard to locate students. If you have questions feel free to email Ashley.Sanchez@BossierSchools.org or Marc. Braden@BossierSchools.org.




Students will not be able to attend field trips or dances if they have not paid their fees. Please reach out to Pam.Taylor@BossierSchools.org if you have questions.

Tabs can be turned in to your homeroom teacher or dropped off in the front office collection bin.

Our PBIS team is excited for the Halloween Dance. Our 6th graders earned this attendance dance by having the best attendance record for the grade levels. To attend you had to be present 95% of the quarter and not have any referrals. Our Hall of Fame students always get to attend this dance. We also drew 10 random names from 7th and 8th grade to attend as well. They also had to be present 95% of the time and not have any referrals. These students know who they are. Information on drop off and pickup will be sent out later this week to ensure the safety of all students. Please make sure you follow the guidelines for wearing costumes to the dance. If you have questions, please reach out to Mr. Braden or Mrs. Sanchez.
