This will be a quarterly newsletter to communicate important senior information and dates. If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the school for assistance.

This week the Balfour representative came to speak to our students about the Graduation Supply Fee and other things that may be ordered from Balfour. Each senior should have received an envelope with all information in it. Below you will find a recap of what was presented.
