Teacher Office Hours
Everyday, except Monday, from 7:45-8:15 a.m. teachers are available in their classrooms for students to ask for additional help. Teachers are also available during Cardinal Time on Wednesdays, from 9:40-10:10 a.m. Students needing additional help should reach out to their teacher to schedule an appointment.
Snacks & Lunch
Students may bring their own food from home or purchase meals and snacks on campus. The Cardinal Café, operated by NuCuisine, is open before school through the end of lunch, including during morning breaks. Students can purchase food at the cafe with card, Apple pay, or cash.
