Social Media Basics for High School Students
Social media isn't simply a way of life for many students -- it's life itself. To help them keep their online interactions safe, productive, and positive, Common Sense Media offers the most up-to-date research and guidance on social media basics. Learn about the latest apps and websites, and get tips on talking to your kids about sharing, posting, and avoiding digital drama.

Applying for National Honor Society
It is time to apply for National Honor Society! All sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have a 3.25 GPA are eligible to apply. Students have received an email with a link to the application and instructions for completing it. All applications are due by Friday, October 22 at 11:59pm. Absolutely no late applications will be accepted! Please contact Mrs. Crystal Gage if you have any questions.
*Senior students who can provide confirmation of a November 1st college application deadline may request an early decision from the Faculty Council. To do this, they must send a written request to me via email, including a screenshot of their application deadline. The Faculty Council will review these students' applications first, and then I will issue an informal confirmation of their decision on membership status via email by Friday, October 29.
Loaner Chromebooks
Loaner Chromebooks have moved to the library. Please see the following procedures for borrowing a Chromebook.
If you forget your Chromebook, you will need to pick up a loaner in the library BEFORE school starts or as soon as you arrive from the EGSIC in the afternoon.
You should NOT return the loaner at the end of each block, but instead keep it until 3:00 or until leaving for the EGSIC in the afternoon.
We do not have loaner CHARGERS. Please ask your teacher if they have a charger you may borrow while in their classroom. If not, you will need to come to the library to borrow a Chromebook.
Losing your loaner privileges:
You may not check out a loaner more than 9 times per quarter. You will need to get in the habit of bringing the chromebook that was issued to you.
If you fail to return the loaner to the library at the end of the day 3 times in one quarter, including leaving the device unattended or in a teacher’s classroom, you will not be allowed to borrow a Chromebook for the remainder of the quarter.
If you lose a loaner Chromebook or damage it in any way, you will be held financially responsible for replacement of the device, and you will not be allowed to borrow another Chromebook until this has been taken care of.
A/B-Day Schedule - New This Year
We are instituting an A/B schedule this year. Students will attend half of their classes on A-days, and the other half on B-days. The first day of school is an A-day, Thursday, August 19. The next day will be a B-day, Friday, August 20. Click here for the A/B schedule for the entire school year.
Handley Parking Permits
Students are permitted to park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not of right. If you are going to be driving to school for the 2021-2022 school year and parking in the Handley parking lot, you must obtain a parking permit. Below you will find instructions on how to register your car and obtain a parking permit.
Vehicle’s year, make, model, & color
License plate number, Driver’s license number, & owner of the car
Paying for and receiving your parking permit
See the school treasurer (main office) to pay the $25 parking fee.
Take the receipt to the main office administrative assistants, and they will assign you a parking space and give you a parking permit.
Last: Hang the parking permit from your rear view mirror
The parking permit must be visible.
The permit will have a number on it. That number is your assigned spot for the year.
You may only park in your assigned spot during school hours. If you fail to park in your spot or break any parking lot rules, you may lose your privilege to park in the lot and on school property.
