Spring testing -- April 2nd & 9th are testing days for Juniors. These are for state mandated graduation exams. Freshman, sophomores and seniors will work remotely on the 2nd, but all in person on the 9th.
Juniors need to be on time to avoid missing the start of the test. Once we have started the test, they may not enter the class and start. Signing students out in the middle of these test can result in an irregularity and the test being thrown out and they would need to come back as a senior and re-take. So if at all possible, please do not schedule appointments on these days.
Prom/Attendance -- Prom is around the corner, April 12th. Students wanting to buy tickets to prom need to be sure their truancy rate is 15% or lower. Students wanting to bring a guest from outside Alamogordo High School can pick up guest forms anytime and get that process out of the way to be ready to buy tickets.
Final Exams -- Before you know it Final Exam time will be here. Students will test may 19-21. The 22nd is a make up day and the 23rd is graduation.
