All juniors and motivated sophomores…the PSAT will be on Saturday, October 18th. You may register for the test through October 8th in the Finance Office. The cost of the test is $20.

All students…you only have 5 days to clear an absence. You must bring a note to the attendance office within that time or the absence will turn truant and will not be cleared. Saturday school will be assigned. Once you are on campus and you have to leave for an appointment do not leave campus without checking out through the attendance or health office. You must receive a checkout slip, without this slip your absence will be a truant and will not be cleared for any reason. Saturday School will be assigned. Parent requests and vacations are considered unexcused absences. The teachers do not have to give makeup work for classes missed. Any questions about attendance please come and see up.

Homecoming is only a month away. Please make sure that you have served all Saturday School and detention hours PRIOR to tickets going on sale. Also remember, Citizenship grades matter. If you have two “U’s” in citizenship, you will not be able to attend the Homecoming Dance. (End 10/17)

Permission slips for the Homecoming Dance are now available in the Admin building. Pick one up today.
