In the past, we have dealt with sleepwalking, allergies, bedwetting, etc… discretely and effectively.
In case of a more severe injury,
Lakeland Hospital is the nearest 911
response unit.

regular starting time on Monday, September 22nd with their sleeping bag and luggage. Upon arrival, students will drop their bags in the appropriate line at the front of the building and go to the blacktop until school starts.

You may want to arrange a ride for your child to school on Monday and home from school on Wednesday, as riding the bus or walking with their “stuff” may be difficult.
