Mr. Abbott knows how to have fun!
Before you leave this school year behind:
Students & Parents: Please, be sure you/your student does not have any unfulfilled obligations. It's not nagging, really. It is a gentle reminder to avoid unnecessary surprises.
Possible obligations: laptop insurance, bills carried over from last year, lunch bill, lost books or other borrowed items, FCCLA fees, club dues, athletic dues. Your understanding is appreciated.
Please note: Report cards and diplomas will be held until obligation responsibilities are taken care of. Kindly communicate with the school, as we will work with you!
