It is that time of year again for school alerts regarding closings due to weather. However, the RIBA system is used for other school closings as well. If you have not signed up for a text or email alert, the following link https://my.textcaster.com/asa/Default.aspx?ID=6d6b22e1-242f-46b3-ae4f-e01582e9a14c can be used. This is our method of letting you know when school is closed or delayed. You can also find the information on turnto10 or your favorite local stations.
We begin exams this Thursday, 1/17. They run up and including next Wednesday 1/23. Monday, 1/21 the school is closed. Please plan to pick up your students from 11:00 AM on each day of exams. They should be in silent study each day in the library and will be released when you arrive to pick them up. If you are not here right at the close of each exam session, just text them when you arrive. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email.
Parent conferences will be held on March 7 from 5-7 at the high school. There will be more information when the date gets closer.
For planning purposes, April 9, 2019, all grade 10 students will be taking the PSAT and the grade 11 students the SAT and must report to school at the regular time. Both tests are mandatory state assessment requirements. The students taking the SAT and PSAT will be released at the completion of the testing period. Lunches will be available at the end of the session and students may take the regular scheduled buses at 1:37 if they do not have a ride when the testing period is over.
Grade 9 students will have the day away from school and may use the time to complete some of their graduation required 10 hours of community service. Our Grade 12 students will also have time away from school and they may use choose to complete any loose ends on their senior projects they will be presenting in May. All teachers will be available should either group need any support.
