While at our back-to-school events, please be aware of social distancing and keep a Wildcat’s tail distance between you and others.

Barry County Health Department Phase 2 mitigation rules remain in effect until August 31. Those rules include recommended physical distancing, cloth face coverings and enhanced hygiene practices.

Continuing with procedures set in place during summer school, parents will not be able to walk students to class on the first day of school due to our health and safety guidelines.  We would suggest taking “first day of school” photos during these back-to-school events. Preschool parents will be allowed to escort their child in to the Early Childhood Center.

We look forward to greeting our wildcats on campus!
