EXPERIENCE IT!*
- A Note From the Principal
- 2/13/2012
- At the beginning of this year, we implemented new procedures
around dress code, traffic through the parking lots, and
afterschool activities.
Now that we are past the half-way point in the year, it is a
good time to remind everyone of these expectations.
It takes everyone's cooperation to make this work.
- HS Summer Opportunities
- 2/13/2012
- I encourage parents and students to look into volunteering
opportunities, academic enrichment opportunities etc, for
part/all of the summer. The opportunities not only 'look
good on a college application' but provide students with
invaluable learning experiences that can not be truly
captured in a school setting. Here are a few, and keep an
eye on the newsletter as I receive this information daily!
