Students:

You are more than welcome to weary costumes on Halloween this year to school. However, please make sure that you are following the guidelines below:

* No weapons or weapon look-alikes of any kind

* Must still follow our dress code policy when it comes to appropriateness (no alcohol, drug or references of any kind that could be offensive to others)

Thank you for your cooperation with this and we hope you have a great Halloween!

All sophomores will be going on a Field Trip to the Suburban Collection Showplace on November 14th. This field trip will feature over 150 occupations highlighting their jobs in real time for students to see in action.

We will be leaving at 9:15, stopping at 12 Oaks Mall for lunch, and then to the MiCareer Quest at the Suburban Collection Center in Novi. Please click HERE for more details on this amazing trip.

FYI that we will not be returning back to school until about 3:30. Students will need their own transportation home.

Although students will be given hard copies as well, the permission slip can be downloaded below. These permission slips are due by the end of the day on Thursday, November 9th. Also, check out the video below highlighting this event and what it has to offer.

With school back in session, I just wanted to send out a reminder that the library still offers free tutoring for students K-12 on Mondays and Thursdays.
