  • Tour Guides Needed:  New 9th graders will be coming to Open House August 22 to learn their way around and get to know the building before the first day of school.  Friendly, helpful student volunteers are needed to show them around. If you are able to help, please sign up in the Guidance office.  Signing up is not a firm commitment because we know your summer schedule may still change, but if you sign up, we will contact you to ask you about it a couple of weeks in advance of the date.  Many thanks for your help!! If you have questions, see Mr. Sadiq.

  • Notice regarding attendance for all remaining students: We are seeing a sudden uptick in students coming in tardy. Some students are arriving so late that they are actually absent in their first period class. Please be advised that just because we are near end of year, it doesn't mean that students should be lax about getting here on time. Be assured that if you are making a habit of being tardy, it is likely that you could exceed the absence threshold in one or more of your classes, which would mean that you would lose credit for that class, regardless of your grade. Remember that every three tardies equals one absence. Be VERY careful with and aware of your attendance.

Athletics
