Students,

Your Daily Announcements is where we post a lot of information that YOU NEED TO KNOW. From daily changes, lunch menus, sporting events and cancellations/ changes, testing information, fun things you want to participate in, club announcements and more and it is important that you check them everyday! And SOMETIMES, there will be little "Easter Eggs" hidden in your announcements that if you find them, you could win a treat! Don't miss out because you didn't read your announcements!

Due to the referendum work that is being done inside the old main office, the lost and found table can not be located there. However, on your way into school or when you leave, please check the benches across from the NEW High School Office for anything that may belong to you!! This is also where you will place items you find so they can be recovered by their owner!

Athletics and Activities Attendance Policy (Condensed):
Students must attend the full school day to participate in practice or competition. To be eligible on a day with an absence:

• Step 1: A parent must notify the office 24 hours in advance. For emergency medical appointments, parents must call before 8:00 AM the day of the absence. A medical note is required upon arrival.

• Step 2: Student collects an excused slip from the office with the medical note.

• Step 3: Student gives the excused slip to their coach/advisor before participating.

A parent may call a student in for personal reasons as long as they arrive before 2nd hour and are within their 10 excused absences for the year. Unexcused absences mean no participation until the next full day. Final decisions rest with the Dean of Students or Principal.
