For Your Information and Action
White Board Up For Grabs: It is 18' long, aluminum frame around its entirety, with full length tray. The frame contains two whiteboards butted together--so potentially once it's off the wall, it could easily be separated into two 9' x 4' boards. Email Kristen if you are interested. See photo!
Disinfecting the Building: All of the railings have been cleaned and wiped down with bru tabs, as well as all of the desks throughout the building. Thank you to all of our custodians for doing this over break!
Class of 2023 Adviser: Sydney Cloutier would LOVE someone to co-advise the freshman class with her! If you are interested, contact her directly!
Senior Final Exams: Seniors are exempt from final exams in year-long and semester courses if they have earned a 93 or higher as their final grade. See page 22 of the handbook for more details on final exams.
Smart Watches: Many of you have noticed that lots of kids came back from the break with brand new smart watches! Please be aware of smart watches, particularly during assessments, since they are essentially a mini-computer.
Reminders
Advisory Celebrations: Advisory quarterly celebrations are scheduled during the following dates and times. Please plan to have some of your class missing accordingly.
