Final Exam Important Details
Buses will run at their normal times to and from school. After the last exam each day at 11:45, there will be four buses that will follow the late bus routes. The buses will have signs for what area they are covering.
The regular after-school buses will also do a quick drive-through around 2:00 p.m. There will be no late buses at 4 PM for this week.
Students do not have to be in attendance if they do not have an exam scheduled. The library will be open for quiet study. The cafeteria will also be open.
Students who have two exams in one day are required to stay at school during the break. They may not leave school and return. If teachers administer an exam, it will count for 10% of the semester average.
Alumni Update
Class of 2023
Attention Parents/Guardians:
To communicate with the senior class, we have created a Class of 2023 Google Classroom to post announcements. Please remind your seniors to join our Google Classroom if they have not already done so and to check their email daily
Graduation will take place on Sunday, June 4th at 10 a.m. The ceremony typically lasts about 1-1.5 hours.
New this year, Project Graduation will not begin immediately following the Graduation ceremony. Instead, students who are participating in Project Graduation will be allowed to go home after the ceremony to change, rest, and spend time with family.
More details will be forthcoming, but students participating in Project Graduation will need to be back at the high school by 3:15 p.m. on June 4th; buses will depart promptly by 4 p.m. for a reservation at our first (secret!) location.
For more information about Project Graduation, please read this informational handout.
Thank you,
