For Your Information and Action
Daily Announcements May 6-17: During AP testing, announcements will happen right after the pledge each morning rather than during advisory.
Bells May 6-17: Bells will be turned off during AP testing. On most of these days, the bells will be off for the full day because there are two exams. On the days when there is only one exam, bells will be turned on when possible.
Progress Reports: The halfway point for the quarter is May 7. Progress report information will be collected from PowerSchool on Wednesday, May 8 for a Thursday, May 9th distribution in homeroom. All grades should be up to date by Wednesday, May 8 by 10am.
Staff Traffic Pattern: After feedback from the bus company, we are requesting that all staff enter the grounds on the lower entrance and drive around the building to park in the staff lot or behind the building.
2019-20 School Calendar: The school calendar for 2019-20 is available here.
