GENERAL NEWS
We are looking into the previous plan for parking tomorrow. I will notify everyone as soon as a decision is made!
(On Tuesday, May 2nd we are hosting the State Track Meet. Due to the high volume of cars being on campus we need the Sophomores and Juniors to park in the grass behind the business building. An officer will be down at the corner by Mrs. Lynch’s room directing traffic so please enter the grass from that direction. Seniors are to park in their normal area. Teachers and other faculty will need to leave the parking spaces directly beside the cafeteria open and will need to park in the row of teacher parking in front of the business building. )
Track members Coach Casey will start collecting track uniforms on Monday. Uniforms should be returned to the Sports Complex.
Class Officer petitions are now available and can be picked up in Mr. Phelps room or in front of the office. They will be due back by noon on Wednesday May 3. Elections will be Friday May 5.

The end of the 2016-2017 school year is quickly approaching. Our last day of school will be Wednesday, May 24, 2017. As part of our end of year fiscal process, we must zero out any meal charges. Therefore, we ask that all meal charges be paid by the last day of school and request that no charges be made after May 1, 2017 if at all possible. Please contact our central office staff if your child(ren) currently has charges and you need to establish a payment plan to pay off the charges. We appreciate your assistance with this matter.
