FCA Mission Trip
FCA is collecting items for a summer mission trip to Copper Basin in East TN. We are asking specifically for prom and dance dresses for girls in the 6-12 grades. Any other clothing items or accessories are welcomed. FCA will be collecting until the end of April and all items can be dropped off at Mrs. Turnage’s desk in the main foyer.
Parent Notice
Please do not park in the lower lot by the gym or on the hill. These spots are assigned student parking. Also, for safety reasons, no student is to be picked up anywhere but out front during regular pick-up times. The cars in the lower lot are creating a distracting and safety hazard.
In addition, please do not leave cars unattended while parked in the pick-up and drop-off lanes. Your cooperation is appreciated.
PowerSchool
Parents may access grades at any time using the Parent Portal at the bottom corner of the CA web-site’s home page. If you have misplaced your access codes please call the office.
