Principal's Newsletter
From the Desk of Russ Booth
January 14th, 2024
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. There are a few updates below including yearbook and semester 1 exam schedule. Students have been doing a nice job having their ID's on them the last few weeks, especially at lunch. Please continue to help us by reminding your student they need to have their ID on them and visible while they are in the building. The semester is rapidly coming to a close and I would like to encourage all students to be sure they are prepared with their semester 2 schedule on January 29th. We will not be printing 2nd semester schedules this year so students should be sure to access their semester 2 schedules through Aspen prior to coming in on Monday the 29th. If anyone is looking for an excuse not to cook tomorrow, the softball team is holding a fundraiser at Chipotle on Monday, January 15th. Information can be found in the newsletter below.
Semester 1 Final Exams
Semester 1 Final Exams will be held during the week of January 22nd. Students will be informed by their teacher if they will be taking an exam during their scheduled period. Students will have 2 exams/tests/assessments per day (at most) from Tuesday (1/23) to Friday (1/26).
