Flexible-Instruction Days (FID) for the 2024.2025 School Year

As the seasons begin to change, I wanted to remind everyone of how our Flexible Instruction Days will work this year.

All teachers will post their assignments on Google Classroom by 8:00 AM every FID. Teachers will be available from 10:00 to 11:00 AM and 1:00 to 2:00 PM for live “office hour” Google Meets to offer any assistance to students.

Students will be required to fill out an attendance form each FID. The attendance form will be emailed electronically to all parents/students by 8:30 AM on the FID.

Class of 2025 - Senior Class Photograph

The Class of 2025 photograph is available for purchase here. Remember that we will take a second Class of 2025 photograph in May, 2025 on the day of the senior picnic. All seniors will be allowed to do a less formal pose during that photograph. Many thanks to Christmas City Studios for their continued support.

School Nurse Announcement

Nurse Richards would like to remind all 12th-grade students that they need to get their Meningococcal vaccine (MCV) by the 5th day of the school year. In addition, all 11th-grade students will need to complete a physical. Please email Nurse Richards if you have any questions.
