Notices from Group 1 and Group 2 require approval from the building principal if the notice only affects one school level (K-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-12).
Notices that affect more than one school level and all notices from Group 3 require the approval of the Superintendent. Please send your request via email to the superintendent's office with the flyer attached.
