During the first two weeks of school, we have reminded students about hats, hoods, and bellies. Starting Monday, the 18th, we will begin to enter referrals for students not abiding by the dress code. Please encourage your student to wear proper school attire and remove hats and hoods while in the building.

On Wednesday, October 11th, we will be administering the PSAT to all 10th graders and any 9th or 11th grade students who signed up and paid to take the PSAT. Additionally, all registered 11th grade students will take the ASVAB test. All other 9th and 12th grade students will not attend school that day but will instead complete asynchronous work at home through their Google Classrooms. Teachers will assign work for them to complete at home for that day. If your student has difficulty accessing the internet, please have them request a paper copy of the assignment from their teacher. Students taking the PSAT or ASVAB test that day will be exempt from asynchronous assignments. More information will be forthcoming regarding pick up times for test takers on October 11th and bus departure times for those students who need to ride a bus home. Please contact the testing coordinator, Christine Cook, with any PSAT related questions.
