SENIOR EXPERIENCE ELECTIVE

 

Members of the Class of 2026 have begun 'Phase 1' of their Senior Experience Elective by attending an information session this week. They are now working to identify their areas of career interest and are drafting letters of interest to be sent to potential community sponsors. They are also contacting faculty members to serve as their advisors during the Senior Internship Program. Seniors do not need to have contacted a Community Cponsor at this point in the process. Lists of past experiences are available in the Library and the Student Services Center. Students are not limited to what has been done in the past but the lists and journals can be helpful in identifying areas of interest. For additional information about the program, including a timeline of events, please visit: Program Overview

Traffic Safety Reminders

 

In agreement with the township, the New Lower North Parking Lot is not to be used as a Drop Off in the morning or a Pick-Up in the afternoons. We ask our parents to please plan accordingly when dropping off and picking up your child.


  • DROP OFF – Parents may drop off in the front of the building using two lanes. The bus circle is available beginning at 7:40AM as an additional drop-off location.
  • PICK UP - Parents may pick up in the front of the building using two lanes. The bus circle is available at 3:00PM for parents to pick up students.
  • Please DO NOT use the Main Lot for drop-off and pick-up as it creates more congestion for our student drivers.
  • Drive slowly and carefully on school drop off areas and nearby roads.
  • Obey all traffic flow patterns and rules of the road DO NOT MAKE ILLEGAL U-TURNS
  • Please be respectful of our neighbors. DO NOT use driveways as a turn around.

  • When dropping off and picking up students, please pull all the way up allowing traffic to flow.
  • Discuss pedestrian safety with your kids (use crosswalks/sidewalks, look both ways, don't "walk and text," etc).
