Please see Smoke Signals for the sign-up link or contact your child's school counselor.

Has your family moved? Have any of your phone numbers changed?

Please be sure and update this information with the School Counseling Office before the end of school! Many important pieces of information are sent home to students over the summer. If we do not have your new information on file, you will be missing out on report cards, test scores, back-to-school information, etc.

Please contact the school at 757.648.5461 should you have any questions or updates that need to be made.
