Getting Closer
The signs of the school year coming to an end are getting closer. This week we named our Junior Marshals, completed second semester senior projects, met with the senior class, celebrated end of year awards, and our seniors did their final walk as a class through the halls of SJH, followed by a visit to their former elementary schools. It has been an exciting week with all the feels for our seniors.
With only three days of school remaining for our seniors, parents please remind your student to turn in all books, PDL's and pay any fees/fines that are owed. Senior exams will be May 23rd and 24th. This will be their last days of school. Students with outstanding fines will not receive their graduation tickets at practice on May 31st. You may go to mypaymentsplus.com to check if any fees are owed. Also have your student check with the cafeteria- these fees are not on mpp.
Senior parents, it has been an absolute joy to be a part of this special year. Thank you for entrusting your children to us! I look forward to celebrating the Class of 2023 at graduation on June 2nd.
Have a great evening, and as always, Go Sharks!
