To Parents: The restrooms at the high school have all been remodeled.The construction crew is working now to open the last two remaining restrooms. Recently a few students have been vandalizing our new restrooms by pulling the soap dispensers off the wall and removing them. We need your help. Please talk to your child about taking care of our school. It belongs to all of us. If your child knows who’s responsible for the damage, please ask your daughter or son to share that information with an assistant principal or the School Resource Officer. Thank you, Mr. Brandsrud
