- Mrs. Garcia's office hours are from 8:00am - 1:15pm and 2:15pm - 4:30 pm.
Need a school ID? See Mrs. Belton in the ISS room across from the girl's locker room in the Athletic Wing.

NOTE: Students with off periods MUST keep the common areas clear. The Library and College & Career Center lounge areas are available for use by students with off periods.
