Semester Ends
January 26, 2024
Where does the time go?
It's hard to believe that we are half way through the 23-24 school year. On Monday, students will receive an updated schedule (blue) in their first block class. Study halls and lunches may have changed based on course requests and class scheduling. This schedule will also appear on the student portal.
We are asking that all students wait at least a full four day cycle (A,B,C,D) before requesting changes to study hall and lunches. If students have any other questions or concerns they should make an appointment to see their school counselor.
