Students and Families,

As we near the end of the year, I wanted to pause and address the approaching final exam scheduled for May 20-22nd. It's important to ensure everyone is informed about the schedule and expectations for this critical period.

Buses will operate on the normal schedule during exam week; except on Thursday, when there will be two bus runs home: an early run at 12:40 p.m. and a second run at the regular time of 3:20. Lunch will be served on Friday from 12:40 to 1:25 p.m. Students who have arranged to take makeup exams Thursday afternoon will be able to eat lunch and take the later bus, if needed.

Where students can go if they cannot leave and don’t have an exam:

Periods 1-8 = Cafeteria

Periods 4, 5 and Lunch = Main Gym

Students are permitted to leave campus during off periods/lunch

Our ComTech students produce a weekly edition of student news titled Flock Talk. It is released every Friday for the students and the staff. Here is this week's edition.

Students may not order food from delivery services such as DoorDash. This is against District policy. Please remind your student that they are not allowed to order food to be delivered to the school, and may not leave the building to meet delivery drivers outside. We appreciate your support of our security measures.

Please notify the Attendance Office if you know your student will be absent from school. Call or email ahead to pre-excuse for appointments and ask your student to pick up a pass in the Attendance Office ahead of time – we prefer not to interrupt classes by calling rooms.

Call the 24-hour recorded line to leave a message at
