REMINDERS FROM THE OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS:
Exam Study Nights:
The National Honor Society is hosting an exam study night on Wednesday, January 18 and January 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm in the Dining Hall. NHS tutors will be available for help. All students are invited to participate and to use this time to review for upcoming semester exams.
Student Attendance & Semester Exams:
All students are expected to attend their scheduled semester exams on January 24, 25, and 26. If a student is absent on an exam day, the parent/guardian must call the school and a doctor's note is needed to verify the absence. Students will not be permitted to make-up exams without a doctor's note. Bus transportation will be provided on January 24, 25, and 26. Exam make-up day is Friday, January 27; bus transportation will not be provided on January 27.
Students who do not have a first session exam, may find their own transportation to school and come in for their second session exam. Students who are not scheduled for a second session exam may arrange transportation to leave school early. Students who do not have transportation to come in late or leave early must report to the dining hall during their non-scheduled exam session.
Student Safety at Dismissal Time:
To ensure the safety of students at dismissal time all parents are reminded that students must be picked up at the rear of the building. Parking or driving out of the school entrance lane is dangerous and can result in an accident. Thank you in advance for not parking in or driving out the entrance lane at dismissal time.
