Millennium Families,
Early Early Release - Wednesday, April 24th
School Dismisses at 10:15am
*No lunches served. Busses run accordingly
We finished up our state testing this week. Congratulations to all our students for persevering through these last few weeks. While we still have CTE program testing, AP, and IB tests to complete; it will not interrupt the school day schedule.
As we start winding down the school year with only five weeks left, please be sure to check in with your students regarding their progress in their classes. The final progress report was posted on Thursday. We have several RTI opportunities for students to meet with their teachers and finish the year strong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dress Code - As we move into warmer weather, I want to remind our parents and students about our dress code. Students out of dress code will be required to change and be in dress code prior to attending class. The dress code can be found in the Student handbook on page 27. The biggest violation we see is strapless, backless, and excessive torso exposed.
Arriving to campus - This is just a reminder school begins at 7:15am. Please be sure students arrive with plenty of time to enter campus and get to class on time. There seems to be a little lull at 7am, which is a great time to arrive.
Reminder - all students are required to show their ID upon entering campus every morning. If students do not have their ID they will be escorted to the bookstore to get a replacement ID. Replacement IDs are $2.00.
