Dear Open High Family,
Thanks to EVERYBODY for helping us get to this--our final week of the 2022-2023 school year. The End-of-Year Picnic and Family Olympics were so much fun, and we couldn't do events like this without the support of our students, families, and staff. Check out Wilber's whole school video tribute below which is just another reminder of what a special place Open is. Remember, Thursday is a VIRTUAL SCHOOL DAY so faculty can attend graduation. See full schedule below.
CHROMEBOOK/CHARGER/HOTSPOT Collection has begun. Turn in your devices to the office as soon as you are able, preferably during your lunch break. Students who are attending summer school should also turn in. This is a change. Lost Chromebook: $100; Lost/Damaged Charger: $5. Payment can be made online.
TEXTBOOKS must be returned to teachers and LOCKERS and FRIDGE must be cleaned out ASAP. Also check the Lost & Found and water bottle collection in basement.
