CAP & GOWN

On Friday, May 21st, we will collect computers and fees & fine payments in the Media Center. I have attached a schedule for when seniors will report to school to turn in items. Caps & Gowns will be issued to seniors once all devices and fees are turned in and paid to the school.   Once the cap & gown has made it home, please take it out of the package and place it on a hanger for the weekend.

I am a 21-year employee of Collier County Public Schools and a member of the Naples community for over 27 years.

The faculty and staff are dedicated to supporting and stretching each student to reach his or her potential and build life-long character traits. I look forward to working with all the stakeholders: parents, students, alumni and the community in building on the excellence that is BC. Students, staff, parents, alumni, and community members understand it is "All about the Blue." My accessibility to you is important. Please feel free to contact me at any time as we build a working relationship for our students and our community.
