Week of April 28

Staff,

I hope you all take this time to relax. You all deserve this so much! With that being said, I know we have 3 optional workdays (Wednesday to Friday). The custodians will open the building every day next week from 6:30 to 2:30 for anyone who was planning on coming in.  If you do, please sign the computer on the front desk for arriving and departing. The building will not be open tomorrow, Friday, April 19th. 

We are in need of judges for our Senior Speech night  on Tuesday, May 21, 2019.  Judges are needed from 5:30 pm-approximately 8:30 pm.  We will serve dinner at 5:30 with a short training prior to heading to classrooms where seniors will be sent to you to present their research. 

If you are interested and able to judge for us this Spring please fill out the form linked below to let Mrs. Meier know of your availability.  We appreciate your willingness to give your time to listen to our seniors present their projects.  

Senior Speech Night Response Form

Students who are planning to attend a 4 year college or university should be aware of the enrollment deposit that is due by May 1.  This deposit lets the university know that they are planning to attend.  A housing deposit may be due at this time as well.  If they have questions, please have them refer to their acceptance letter and reach out to the admissions office of the college that they plan to attend.
