If you are not feeling well, be sure to get a pass from your teacher to the nurse. Instead of going to the nurse during a passing period, go to your next period teacher first and let them know you need to see the nurse. In order to be excused from school when you are not feeling well, you need to see the nurse AND be signed out at the main office attendance desk, otherwise you won’t be excused.

For all college visits and upcoming travel, be sure you are picking up a pre-arranged absence form for this. These are due no later than one week before the date you will be gone.

 This Year is Unique:

We now have a yearbook class! In previous years we relied on community support and club work to create our yearbook, but this year will be different. Right now, 35 students are working on the design and systems so we can build the best possible yearbook.

This year we will be working with Josten’s which published over 18,000 school’s yearbooks in 2023-24. Our new partner has systems in place to make sure we get everything done on time if we keep to our deadlines. Which leads us to…

Important Dates:

Yearbooks pre-sales as follows: SEP 2-15, NOV 4-17, JAN 13-26

*A small number of extra books will be ordered for sale at the end of the school year. Notification will be sent out via text message. Sales will be open while supplies last.

The process will be owned and organized by the students with the intent to provide free options for students that need them. We will be providing more information regarding this as we get into October.

·         Oct 31^st-Early Bird Senior Recognition Ad Pricing Deadline
