Happy Friday! Only three more days left of school after today. Students who do not have to take semester tests and will be gone on Tuesday, can check out today. If a student has to take semester tests and does not have an advance make up, they will check out on the test days. Otherwise, everyone else can check out on Tuesday. We will have advisory on Tuesday. If you haven't done the last reflections with them, do that first, then have them clean out their lockers. If the locker is clean (no trash, tape on the door, etc.) you may sign the students check out sheet for the locker. If the locker is damaged, please have Neal or I check it out. All lockers should shut and lock, if they don't, that is some of the damage we are looking for. We will follow the second semester test schedule. It is as follows: Wednesday 8:30 - 9:40 Period 1 9:45 - 10:55 Period 2 10:55 - 11:45 Lunch 11:50 - 1:00 Period 5 1:05 - 2:15 Period 6 2:20 - 3:30 Period 7 Thursday 8:30 - 9:40 Period 3...

Happy Friday! It is finally graduation weekend. It is hard to believe how fast the school year has gone by and how fast this group of students has moved through high school. Some of you are thinking right now that it wasn't fast enough for some students. But as a whole, this class has provided us with good memories and has helped carry on a tradition of excellence. As they get ready to move on to the next phase in their lives, we prepare for a new crop of freshmen coming in. Mr. Utesch will be making recommendations to the board on some handbook items and I will be informing them of our grading policy for next year on Monday night. When you write your welcome letters for next year, you may either include the policy or refer the students to the student handbook. The policy will be placed in there for students and parents to access. Thank you for your patience and dedication as we wrap up this school year. Things should quiet down in terms of activities and other distractions t...

This coming week, the science rooms will have the asbestos removed, then the real noise will begin. Next Wednesday we will have our second to last extra hour meeting. You will meet in your department PLCs and work on your local assessment or discuss curriculum changes for next year or how your strategy from you last SMART goal turned out. The seniors will be done with regular class on May 16. On that day, any senior who doesn't need to take a semester test will check out. Semester test will be on May 17 and 18. Mr. Martin has agreed to proctor those test. If you want him to proctor your test for seniors, please give him the test with the students name on it and scantron if needed by May 13.
