One more week of school! Remember seniors, if you are done with finals and grades after this week you do not have to report to school. Awards Ceremony for seniors and their families is Monday night May 17th at 6pm in the middle school cafeteria. Schedule for tomorrow is below. Important stuff so please make sure you scroll all the way down.

Course requests for SY 21-22 will close May 18th for all underclassman. I want to say, I am so proud of the students who have come to me for questions about next year. Not only next year but about their high school pathway of classes. I love that they are getting involved and taking ownership of their education.

Finals: Virtual students- be sure you have checked your google classrooms and know when and how to take the finals for your courses. NO finals will be given after May 20th. No exceptions.

Enjoy tomorrow guys. The faculty is looking forward to having some fun with you.

Seniors

TOMORROW! May 13th we have planned a full day of activities.

SIDE NOTE: This week it was mentioned that underclassman will be having a dodgeball tournament. Some of these mid-day activities will be combined. Seniors will get a lunch provided to them near the football field. -Concessions will be open somewhere and I heard there is a snow cone truck coming.

Seniors- Not passing credits you must have to graduate?

See attached letter. This letter went out to all seniors via Remind and email, as well as, to the parents via email.

An important policy did change sometime before this school year started regarding credits and being able to participate in the graduation ceremony. This policy is stated in the student handbook. See letter. If you are a student that will be attending "Senior Summer School" (because dates and times are different than underclassman summer school) you need to contact Mrs. Harp for paperwork.

May 24th will be the first day and students MUST be present everyday until they have completed all courses needed. Absences are not allowed.
