College Update

All students should be registered for winter semester college courses by now. If you have not registered, make sure you do so ASAP. The fall semester ends on December 19th so make sure you are focusing on what needs to be done to finish strong.


The end of the semester also means the return of books. All students need to return any books issued by OEC to Mr. Heffelbower as soon as their class ends so they can be inventoried and made available for students second semester. New books can be picked up December 19th - 23rd.
