WHAT IS ASVAB TESTING AND HOW DO I SIGN UP TO TAKE IT?
We will be offering free ASVAB testing for any 11th or 12th grade student interested in participating in testing on this Friday 1-26-2018 during Flex Friday at school. Students need to pick up a permission slip and have it returned to our counseling department ASAP.
The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is an aptitude test that measures your strengths, weaknesses, and potential for future success. The ASVAB also provides students with career information for various civilian and military occupations. In addition, your scores on the ASVAB composite tests will determine your career field or military occupation eligibility. Since enlistment bonuses are usually tied to your choice of occupations, the better the score, the more opportunities you have.

Thank you to all those who donated gifts for children of the Rainbow Connection of Rochester Hills. The outpouring of support from students, staff and the community was much appreciated. We were able to donate nearly 200 new toys, games, and stuffed animals to this great organization.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR STUDENT IS ABSENT
Parents, please remember that it is your responsibility to notify the office when your student will not be in school. You must notify us within 24 hours to excuse your student. Please call 248-537-6600 and leave a message. If you have a doctor's excuse, we must have that within 5 days but you must still call the office the day of the absence. Thank you for your cooperation.
