Quiet and Consideration During Testing Window
Students please be aware that AP testing will be taking place in Ms. Gates room for the rest of the week. If the sign is out in the hallway by they cafeteria that means testing is in session so please try to keep that hall as quiet as possible during passing periods and lunch. If the sign is out during lunch that also means this door to outside is off limits and you need to find another exit if possible. Thank you so much for your kind consideration!

Seniors Trip

Senior Class Photo 
The Senior Class picture is scheduled for Wednesday May 11 during the passing period between 1st and 2nd Hours.  We are too far away to know the weather forecast on the 11th, so watch the weather and consider the 12th as a backup.  Should both days be too windy or rainy, we will reschedule during the week of May 16 to 20 
On Wednesday at the the beginning of the nutrition break, go to Room 28 to pick up you caps and gowns.  Please bring a hanger -- after the photos are taken, take your cap and gown to your car -- HANG UP your gown!!!  Take the cap and gown home--hang the gown.  Please do not iron your gown; IT WILL MELT!

Seniors Sentences:
You need to email your graduation sentences to Dr. Lee with your full name in the subject line by May 11th. Sentences should be written in third person and are limited to 43 words. Sentences that do not conform to the guidelines will be edited to fit your allotted time to walk across the stage. 
If your sentences need editing, you may review them in Dr. Lee's room starting Friday, May 13th. Remember, these sentences will be read to your family and friends at Graduation so please use your best judgment when constructing your sentences. 

Seniors:  If you have an extra announcement and the two envelopes, would you drop them by Room 28.  Thank you.
