We will be collecting devices throughout the day in students’ ELA classes. Students taking summer school or Fulton Virtual classes will be able to keep their devices until their classes are finished in July. The only other exception will be students who are failing classes and need their devices to complete recovery.

For more information about final assessments, the schedule, and the final week of school, visit End of Semester Bell Schedule.

As we get closer to Graduation, please make sure you have everything you need. If you have not already, please remove the items in your graduation package to ensure you have everything. All graduation packages were inspected. However, should you miss something, please come to the Bridge East office as soon as possible. It is the graduates' responsibility to ensure they have what they need when arriving at the graduation venue. We only have a limited supply of replacement pieces.

Important! In keeping with the tradition of a dignified ceremony, decorated caps and other adornments will not be allowed. If decorated, graduates will be given a new cap when they arrive. We only have a limited supply of extra caps, so you do not want to be without one.

For more information on the appropriate attire for the ceremony and how to wear your regalia, visit Seniors and Graduation.

Starting today, we will not ring bells for class change. Make sure you view our current bell schedule on www.cambridgehs.org.

Due to exams through the end of the year, we will hold regular B2 each day. Please report to your B2 classroom.

Beginning May 28, 2024, our office will begin summer hours and will be open Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. We will close the office the week of July 1.
