THINGS TO KNOW AND DO
Note From the Health Office
“Many students are calling or texting home to be picked up because of illness without coming to the Health Office. Please know that if you do this, your absence will be unexcused. Please come to the Health Office to be evaluated if you are feeling sick and the Nurse or Health Tech will make arrangements for you to be picked up if needed. See page 13 in your planner for more information.
Student’s MUST have a pass to come to the Health Office. If it is passing period, please go to your next class and check in with your teacher and get a pass before coming to the Health Office.”

Valentine's Day Gram
Hey Leopards!
Valentine's Day is coming up, and what better way to show your friends how much you love and appreciate them than to get them a little something? “Little something?” You may ask…. How about a Valentine's Day Gram?
From today, 2/5/24 through 2/13/24, ASB will be selling Valentines Day Grams in the Student Store for $0.50. After you buy one, all you have to do is go to the table in front of your student store and fill out your friend’s name (who the card is addressed to), your name, your friend’s 5th period room number, and what candy you would like to give them with their card.
We hope to see you soon!
