Gratitude:

  • We appreciate the time and effort that our maintenance department and all staff have directed toward cleaning up classrooms, offices, and the entire campus. Our facilities look marvelous!
  • Thank you to teachers and staff members who distributed schedules on the first day of school, as well as those who helped get students on the right buses at the end of the day – one of the smoothest starts ever!
  • We are grateful to all of our classified and support staff who have stepped up to new and additional responsibilities this year. It’s obvious that they are leading the charge for higher expectations in the area of customer service.
  • Great job counselors! Your hard work this summer and fall has set students and teachers up for success.

Reminders:

  • Tardy sweep begins today. Please encourage students to move quickly (but safely) between classes. Students who do not make it to class on time should be sent to U203.
  • Continue to observe our “35 minute rule” in order to preserve academic time for students.
  • It’s not too late for freshmen to try out for fall sports. Please encourage students to get involved in activities and athletics!
