Week 36 Schedule

There is no school today in honor of Memorial Day, a time for us to remember and give thanks to the heroes who sacrificed their lives for our country. This is the last week of regular classes before Presentations of Learning (POLs) and Final Exams begin! A few reminders:

The last day to turn in any schoolwork for Semester 2 is Friday, 5/30.
Seminars have ended; we have POL and Finals Prep time at the end of the day this week.
Progress reports will be mailed home this week. Students who would like to improve their grade before the end of the semester should put time and effort into preparing for their POLs and Finals.
We celebrate our seniors again during our Senior Celebration CD on Friday, 5/30.
