Happy Friday! 

It is hard to believe , but we are half-way through the 1st quarter. Please monitor your child's progress on HAC and encourage them to seek help if needed.

FREE AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING!   

This is a FREE service offered by our juniors and seniors of National Honor Society. Students that need help or support in any of their classes can stay after school on any Tuesday and/or Thursday from 4-5 p.m. and work with an NHS member. No appointment or reservation is needed. Students can also request tutoring in the mornings or during lunches, however, an appointment for these times must be made with Mrs. Milian. And this year we will also be providing tutoring services during Excel times. So all our students have plenty of opportunities to get some extra help when they need it! For more info, please see me in the media center. 

As you are planning trips for winter break, please be aware that the last day of school is Wednesday, December 21st. There are no district midterm exams, but teachers will be administering summatives to end the quarter and there are district final exams for some semester courses. It is important that students are on campus and finish the semester. We return from winter break on Thursday, January 5th.

Once the checklist is completed, the senior must drop off the Gold Envelope to their assigned Counselor to have their transcripts sent. It can take up to 14 days for this process once the counselor gets the gold envelope due to several other academic reports are required to be submitted with the transcript. After the 14 days, the Senior needs to circle back around to the counselor and pick up the Gold Envelope in CPOD.

GradBash

GradBash is a special ticketed event for seniors at Universal Studios. Seniors cannot use an annual pass for access to this event or drive themselves. Seniors will depart Nease at 1:30pm on 4/28/23 and return at approximately 5am on 4/29/23. At this time all original 250 spots are filled and we’ve been able to add an additional 50! If you are the first 50 on the waiting list, we are working on emailing each of you to make your deposit. The email is being sent to the email you gave us when you joined the waiting list. The email also details how long you have to make the deposit. If you miss your deposit window, you will be removed from the list and we will contact the next person on the list.

The non-refundable deposit is $100, we estimate a second non-refundable payment in the spring of $85, and it is possible (based on fuel costs) that a 3^rd payment may be necessary. Our hope is to keep the total cost at $185, which includes the special event ticket (access to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure from 4pm to 2am), charter bus transportation, and a $20 voucher that can be used at park restaurants or shops.

GradBash is SOLD OUT! Students can join the waiting list. At this point, you will only be contacted if a space becomes available, you filled out the form correctly, and your dues are paid:  https://forms.office.com/r/iY61hj8VwS
