This is the last week of the first semester. Please be sure to check the exam schedule below. This schedule has also been sent to all students so they are aware what exams they have each day. Please note that not all classes will be giving exams, but we want to be sure each student is able to prepare for an exam on a specific day in case they are in a class that will be giving one.
Second semester begins next Monday. All second semester schedules will be published and sent to students prior to the end of the week. Students will be informed once schedules are published and when they can check their email or Aspen account to view and print them.
Be sure to see a few updates below regarding yearbook orders, an update on our Mock Trial Team, and our Staff Excellence Nomination form.
