For Your Information & Action:
Schedule Change for PSAT and PreACT: Plan ahead! The PreACT and PSAT will be administered on October 10, Day 5. This will include all 10th graders and most 11th graders.
- Because of testing times, classes that have 10th and/or 11th graders (and teachers) should eat second lunch.
- All other high school classes, regardless of subject and location, will eat first lunch.
Visitor Parking: Staff should not park in visitor parking. We need to ensure that there are plenty of easily accessible parking for families who come to the school. Thank you!
Reminders
Extracurricular Rosters: Please send these to John ASAP. In order to track attendance and eligibility we need up-to-date rosters for each activity and team.
