This is a reminder to change your clocks back by 1 hour on Sunday, November 3rd. We might not see the sunshine much for the next few months, but an extra hour to sleep in is always appreciated!

Next Friday, November 8th, is a Non-Student Contact Day. In the past, we held a "Reccovery Day" to help those students who were behind in classes. This year, we are doing something different.

All teachers will be posting their expanded Office Hours, Drop-in & By Appointment, to help students get caught up before the stress of Finals hits. Students, as in life, will need to be proactive in making sure they have completed their assignments and are ready for their exams.

This will allow our teachers to have one day to get caught up on grading & planning for the remainder of the semester. Parents and students should log into Infinite Campus to review their grades and missing assignments and then reach out to teachers to discuss a plan to move forward.  We encourage students to use this "day off" as a time to make sure they are up to date in all classes in preparation for the upcoming Final Exam week in December.

Seniors! You have some important deadlines coming up:

• November 15th: Senior Photos & Quote due for the Yearbook - All Graduates
• November 15th: Graduate Exit Form due - December Graduates ONLY
