📢 Important Info for Parents of Prom Attendees! 📢
Just a friendly reminder for students planning to attend Prom on Saturday, May 17th:
🗓️ On Wednesday, May 14th, we will be reviewing our "2 or more failures" list for the past five weeks. Any student on this list will unfortunately not be eligible to attend Prom.
🗓️ Students must also be present for the entire school day on Friday, May 16th, to be able to attend Prom. The only exception to this attendance requirement is a doctor's note for any absence.
Please ensure your student is aware of these requirements. We're looking forward to a fantastic Prom night! ✨

Attention 8th grade parents and guardians: We will be conducting our Science state testing on Tuesday, May 13. It is always helpful if your child can get a good night's sleep before these exams. Please remember these exams are not timed, nor do they count for or against your child's average. These exams are merely a tool to assess where our students, as a whole, compare to their cohort across the state. If you are refusing to have your child take this exam, a refusal letter, signed by the parent, must be brought to the Middle School main office NO LATER THAN 10am on Friday, May 9th. Due to the work to properly prepare for these exams, refusal letters after this date or those sent by email or phoned in, will not be honored. Absences do not constitute a refusal and will need to be made up as the State has now mandated a full month absence window for these exams. Please remember, a refusal letter for ELA or Math does not cover Science. A separate letter will be needed for each exam. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Attention Parents of students that plan on attending this years prom on Saturday May 17th:
We will be running our 2 or more failure list for the five weeks on Wednesday May 14th. Any students on the 2 or more failure list will NOT be allowed to attend Prom. Students are also required to be in school for a full day on Friday May16th, if they plan on attending prom. The only exception will be if a Dr. note is provided for the absence.
Attention Middle school Parents:
Math state testing is next Tuesday and Wednesday. Students are required to come to school Monday with their chromebooks and chargers , labeled to turn into Homeroom . Thank you for your cooperation and help with this matter.
🚍 Important Reminder for MS/HS Parents and Guardians: In light of our current busing situation, we are continuing the rotation of class periods in our Middle/High School to ensure that students miss minimal instruction time in each class. Starting the week of May 5, the first four periods will run in the following order: 2, 3, 4 and 1. We appreciate your ongoing patience and understanding as we adapt to these logistical challenges. Together, we can ensure a successful learning environment for our students.

🌟 A big shoutout to everyone who came out for the Builders Club and Key Club Easter Egg Hunt last weekend! 🌼 This truly was a group effort as K-Kids and Builders Club filled the eggs while Builders Club and Key Club hid them and helped little ones find them. There were 1350 eggs hidden around the tennis court, front yard of the MS/HS, and playground, and each group cleared the eggs in about 4 minutes!
