The enrolment figure above is demonstration data. The district publishes only its total of 5,917; everything else on this page is the district's own.
The school day
The bell schedule belongs on the campus page, in words, in both languages — not inside a PDF a parent has to download and pinch to read on a telephone.
| Bell | Time |
|---|---|
| First bell | 7:35 a.m. |
| Instruction begins | 7:45 a.m. |
| Lunch, by grade | 10:50 a.m. - 12:35 p.m. |
| Dismissal | 3:15 p.m. |
From the campus office
Written as words, on the campus's own page. Not a photograph of a flyer, and not a post that exists only on a social network a parent has to have an account for.
Report card conferences
Thursday 17 September, 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. No appointment needed. Interpreters are in the building.
Early dismissal
Friday 25 September. Buses run two hours early; the same buses, the same stops.
Breakfast is free for every student
Served from the first bell. No form, no application, no questions asked.
The bell schedule and these three notices are demonstration text. The principal, the address, the telephone number, the campus number and the state rating above are the district's own.

Demonstration data
The buses on this page are invented — every position, route number, rider count and arrival time. The campuses they run to are at their real coordinates, and the district's own enrolment total is real.
