The last day to turn in High School Attendance Screening Forms for 2nd semester is Friday, May 10. Forms are located on the school's website or can be picked up from Ms. King. Any high school student who has missed over nine days in a class needs to complete and turn in a form in order to get permission to make-up time-for-time. If forms are not turned in by the due date or if they are not approved by the Attendance Committee, a student's semester grade in the class will be dropped to a 59. Forms should be turned in to Ms. King (Room 219).

Students, please check the Lost and Found table, located downstairs between the front office and the dining hall. All unclaimed items will be donated tomorrow.
