Good Morning Mariners!

Due to the virtual day tomorrow, all Tuesday classes will meet TODAY, Monday, June 7th. The class times will remain the same. The final program meeting for Thursday students will remain unchanged.

In order to obtain the credit required for graduation, all recovery classes must be attended and you must pass 4th quarter in your regular classes.

As the weather gets warmer, please be reminded that all students should come to school dressed in an appropriate manner while dressing for the weather. Please see our dress code as outlined in our School Code of Conduct. Thank you for your assistance with this.

STUDENT ATTIRE - The administration reserves the right to determine proper and appropriate student dress and footwear that is safe for the school environment. Your Code of Dress should reflect good judgment when selecting school clothes. Any clothing deemed unsafe, offensive, or disruptive to the educational process will be dealt with by the administration. Please be reminded that although fashion changes, we expect:

● Undergarments NOT be exposed;

● Strapless, halter, bandeau or crop style tops, spaghetti straps, half shirts and short shorts may NOT be worn;

● Footwear to be safe and appropriate;

· Hats, hoods from sweatshirts, and other headwear may NOT be worn.

The final four days of school with be regular school days (7:15am - 11:15am) on June 17, 18, 21, & 22. However, there will be no afternoon supports on these days. We will use this time for material collection.

CHROMEBOOK RETURN - ONLY OUR SENIORS WILL BE RETURNING THEIR CHROMEBOOKS. Underclassmen will keep their devices over the summer. Please ensure that they in a safe place and ready to be used in September.

In person seniors will return their devices during the last week of school with their English classes on Tuesday, June 15 and Wednesday, June 16. Virtual seniors must return Chromebooks to the Blue Cafeteria during the afternoon on both days on the following schedule:

Last Name A - L 12:00 - 1:00pm M-Z 1:00pm - 2:00pm

All devices, carrying cases and chargers must be in good, working order upon return in our to avoid a fine/obligation.

SENIOR/UNDERCLASS MATERIAL RETURN

Any material (Books, Classroom Supplies) must be returned to the appropriate teacher by Tuesday, June 22nd. In person students will return these supplies during the regular school day. Virtual Students will return these supplies to their individual teacher's classroom on Friday, June 18th or Monday, June 21st on the following schedule.

Last Name A - L 12:00 - 1:00pm M-Z 1:00pm - 2:00pm

Any school issued material not returned to the proper place will result in the student incurring an obligation. This places the student in danger of not being able to attend future school functions and they will not receive their diploma upon graduation.

GRADUATION PRACTICE

All seniors, who meet the requirements for graduation, should be in their seat on the field hockey field to begin practice at 7:45am on both Monday, June 21st and Tuesday, June 22nd. As we present live diplomas during our ceremony, it is vital that all be present and in the correct order. Students who miss practice will be placed at the rear of the line.

Unfortunately, seniors who do not meet the requirements for graduation are not permitted to participate in the ceremony.

GRADUATION WALK

Two years ago, our three high schools began a partnership with each of our sending elementary schools, to give our graduates the opportunity to return to their former schools and walk the halls one more time prior to graduation. This year's event will take place on Monday, June 21st at 10:30am. Our graduates will receive their gowns during practice that morning and should wear them during their visit. I hope that all of our seniors take advantage of this opportunity. It will be a wonderful experience for our students as well as their former teachers and our elementary students.
