Happy Birthday today to... Jacey Dimon and Emma Jacobsen!!
September Student Makeup Day The September Student Makeup Day will be this Friday, September 5. We will be changing the school calendar to a regular dismissal time, instead of the normal 2:30 dismissal, for students in grades 7-12. However, students in Good Academic Standing, meaning those students that are passing all classes with above 70% and with no missing work in any classes, will be dismissed at 2:30 as usual. Students that are not in Good Academic Standing will be required to stay until 4:00 to work with teachers to correct deficiencies. There will not be transportation provided by the school for these students that are required to stay until 4:00. Families will be notified via email on Thursday, September 4 if students are assigned to stay for the Student Makeup Day. Students that are not in Good Academic Standing and who are absent on September 5 will be required to stay the following Friday.

Homecoming Class Posters Class sponsors will oversee each Class (Grade) in designing and creating a homecoming poster to hang on the lunch room windows. Students must be supervised and working in or near the class sponsor's room; the best time for this to happen is Flex period, but students can work at other times as long as the sponsor is able to supervise and the students do not have class conflicts. All materials must be obtained by the class sponsor; students are not allowed to go to Ms. Mangus' room or get materials themselves. Posters need to be done before school starts on Monday, September 8. Posters will be judged and winners will be announced at the Homecoming Pep Rally.
