Let's have an awesome week Falcons!

8th Grade Students will take the 8th Grade Panoramic Picture on April 17, 2025. Order forms were distributed in Advisory last week. Students need to be bring completed order form and deliver it teacher or photographer by April 17, 2025 or purchase panoramic picture online.

8th Grade Advisory classes will line up outside of classrooms, shortest to tallest and walk to the blacktop with backpacks to take their 8th Grade Panoramic Picture during Advisory. 7th Grade students will have lunch first half hour while 8th grade students take panoramic picture. 7th Grade students will go to Advisory second half hour while 8th graders have lunch the second half hour after taking their 8th Grade Panoramic Picture.

8th Grade Advisory Classes will line up as they arrive and leave backpacks in line on blacktop. Photographer and support staff will guide students to specific lines with taller students to rows towards the back. Classes might be co-mixed to fill complete lines. Please listen attentively to Lifetouch Staff and HTM Staff as directions are given.

All we have is the 30 minutes to take this picture.
Please remember to face forward, to remove caps/hoodies, masks (optional), and to hold a smile. Please pay attention to photographer. Please do to not turn, or turn around, or turn to talk. The photographer will take a series of pictures and if students turn, sneeze, or close their eyes this might be what is caught in the picture. Please be at your best for this year's Panoramic Picture. Thank you.

It is our collective expectation that everyone on campus will uphold the cell phone use policy as outlined in the district's board policy as well as in our handbook:

1. Upon entry, all cell phones must be turned off and placed in the backpack.
2. If a staff member directs a student to put it away, please listen and put cellphone in backpack.
3. Cell phones are not allowed in the bathroom. If students are caught with cellphone in the bathroom, the phone will be taken immediately and must be picked up by the parents. NO EXCEPTIONS.
4. If a staff member takes a cell phone away, they will give it back to student at the end of each period UNLESS it warrants being taken to the main office.
