This week we celebrate our teachers. Please take a moment to thank a teacher, send a special message, and let them know how much they are appreciated. Our teachers work tirelessly throughout the year planning, grading, and helping students reach their goals.

This is our last full week for our seniors. It is definitely beyond crunch time. Senior teachers and counselors have been communicating with students regarding their status. It is super important to stay diligent these last few days and complete all necessary work. We cannot wait to celebrate approximately 500 students walking across the stage.

All students please stay focused these last three weeks. Take advantage of RTI time, communicate with your teachers, and be mindful of deadlines.

Senior Walk - There's still time to sign up. Interested seniors will have the opportunity to return to Litchfield, Palm Valley, or Mabel Padgett and visit their former teachers and talk to kids. Sign up and information can be found here. bit.ly/MHSSeniorElementaryWalk

Senior Honors Assembly - Thursday, May 16th @ 6pm.

Senior Checkout - Seniors have only 7 days left of school. They will be provided a link that will act as their checklist for items required to be done (bookstore fees, returning library materials, returning uniforms, etc.). Our main checkout days will be on May 13th and 14th and will continue during diploma pick up days on May 20th and 21st as some seniors will still be involved with AP or IB testing on the 13th and 14th. Seniors will be provided more details later this week. This information will include what they need to know about our Chromebook gifting as well. Please encourage your senior to check their emails daily.

Dress Code - As we move into warmer weather, I want to remind our parents and students about our dress code. Students out of dress code will be required to change and be in dress code prior to attending class. The dress code can be found in the Student handbook on page 27. The biggest violation we see is strapless, backless, and excessive torso exposed.

Arriving to campus - This is just a reminder school begins at 7:15am. Please be sure students arrive with plenty of time to enter campus and get to class on time. There seems to be a little lull at 7am, which is a great time to arrive.

Reminder - all students are required to show their ID upon entering campus every morning. If students do not have their ID they will be escorted to the bookstore to get a replacement ID. Replacement IDs are $2.00.
