On Wednesday, March 1st our 11th graders will be taking the ACT exam. Our 9th, 10th, and 12th grade students won't attend school on this day. Please make sure and adjust your calendars. 11th graders should report at the normal time on March 1st. The ACT exam will start at 8:00 am and the main testing group should be finished by 12:00 pm. Once students are finished with their test they are released to go home or be picked up from school. If students plan to ride the bus home at 2:05 pm they must wait in the high school cafeteria until the buses arrive. Junior families will receive more information as we get closer to March 1st.

Seniors (and senior families), as the 4th quarter grading period approaches, it is time to revisit "Senior Incentive!" 4th quarter begins Monday, March 13th

Senior Incentive Plan: Senior students may be exempt from exams in May if they meet all four of the following thresholds during Quarter Four:

1. B or better in the course

2. No more than 3 total tardies (sum of tardies to school and all classes)

3. 0 Unexcused absences - meaning all absences must be accompanied by a parent/guardian or doctor's note. ** Only 10 parent/guardian notes are available for use per school year **

4. No ISA or Suspensions from school.

Note: Seniors taking Government must still complete the Ohio State Test/End of Course exam in April.

NHS Seniors: NHS graduation stoles may be ordered from Ms. Alfonsi in room 315 at THS by April 21, 2023. The cost is $25.00 each, and the graduate keeps the stole. This year, we will wear white stoles to contrast with the blue graduation gowns everyone will wear. It is fine to borrow an NHS stole from an older sibling or friend, but please make sure it is white. We will NOT wear the light blue stole from the past. Please contact Ms. Alfonsi directly with questions at alfonsic@talawanda.org.

Please bring cash or a check payable to Talawanda High School by April 21.
