Attention Students: The Student Store is open before school, 1st period, 4th period and 8th period. As a reminder, students must go to class FIRST and THEN come to the store ONLY with teacher permission and a pass. To facilitate this, the store will not open until five minutes after the bell rings starting immediately. We appreciate all our store customers, but the store is a privilege and everyone needs to cooperate so we can continue to have a store!!
