The Rebel Crier

Remember that in order to participate in co-curricular activities, including athletics and club, students must be in attendance for a full day of school. If students come to school after the start of the second class each day, or leave before the end of the day, they will not be eligible to participate.

If students leave school and return, they must have a medical note in order to be eligible.

Does your student need help with the Common Application? Whether they are just starting the Common Application or working on specific sections they can join Mrs. Laughlin in the College and Career Center during lunch for assistance.

Senior Families, this is a reminder that in addition to the post-high school planning support presented during rotating F-Day Rebel Blocks, students should schedule a one-on-one meeting with their school counselor. This individual meeting will further support them in their post-high school planning process.
