Semester Finals
Semester finals, taken prior to Christmas break, are quickly approaching. Students should begin the review and preparation process early in order to be successful. All courses (core and non-core) will have their semester exams at this time. The schedule is as follows:
Dec 16:
periods 1 and 2 exams
Dec 17:
periods 3 and 4 exams
Dec 18:
periods 5 and 6 exams
Dec 19:
periods 7 and 8 exams
Students with a study hall period will be permitted to arrive late/leave early. We will operate on the understanding that they will arrive late if their study hall is the first exam time or leave early if their study hall is the second exam time. If you wish for your child to remain at school for the study hall period, please contact the main office.
Students should direct questions about semester finals to their teachers.
Dismissal will be at 12:30 p.m. Dec. 16-19. We will not have cafeteria service so students should plan to bring a snack for their break/study time between finals.
We plan to dismiss the students at 12:15 on Friday, December 20. We will have classes followed by our traditional Advent Service followed by choir and band performances.

Winter Weather Is Here
With winter having already arrived in central Ohio, we thought this would be a good time to remind our community what happens if school is cancelled.
Bishop Watterson follows the Diocese of Columbus in determining weather-related closures. The Diocese continues to communicate through local media outlets.
In the event of a closure, we use the School Messenger system to send a phone message to parent cell phones on file with the school office. We will also get the word out through our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Note From Our Nurse
Reminder as we enter cold and flu season: students should be drinking lots of water. They are permitted to carry water bottles that are CLEAR during the school day. If they have a cough and are going to want cough drops throughout the day, those need to be sent in from home (the nurse does not have a supply in her office). The nurse cannot give out over the counter medication unless it has been sent in from home and the proper paperwork has been filled out. This includes Tylenol and Advil. Thank you!
