End of School Year
We have decided to forgo the traditional 90-minute, cumulative final semester exam format for this year. Instead, teachers have the choice whether or not to have an abbreviated end-of-year assessment (again, not a full exhaustive exam). We are also going to follow the same schedule that we use for quarterfinals so that students are not overwhelmed with more than two tests in one day.
Grades 9-11
The last day of instruction for underclassmen will be
Friday, May 22
.
Test Calendar for underclassmen:
Wednesday, May 20: Science and World Language
Thursday, May 21: Math and Non-core A ( Music, Health, PE, Ind. Art, Social Studies Electives)
Friday, May 22: Non-core B ( Business, Art, Computer Science, English Electives)
We plan to leave the week of May 26-29 for locker clean out procedures and textbook turn in (more guidelines and logistics will be forthcoming).

Cheer Tryouts Postponed
Cheerleading tryouts for the 2020-21 school year have been postponed. Watch for more information at a later date.

Keep Pandemic Prayers Going
Each school day morning we post our traditional prayer for that day on our social media accounts. In the evening we post about a patron saint, asking for intercession for us during this time. These prayers can also be found on a special page on our website, along with other faith-related resources and pandemic communication and links.
