Esports practices will resume next Tuesday, Jan 16th, from 3:30 - 4:30 in Mrs. Peters' classroom. Anyone interested in joining Esports needs to speak with Mr. Benbrook at practice

 

Seniors – your senior profile is due Wed. Jan. 24 since we were not in school most of this week.

 

Junior Class,

Those who plan to attend prom must pay their dues in full by Wed. January 24.  You must check with your advisory teacher to see what you owe.  You will pay your advisory teacher.  Advisory teachers will then turn the dues in to Mrs. Little for bookkeeping. Check Google Classroom daily for Prom updates.  There is a 1 question prom survey that you need to have completed by today.

 

Teachers,

Please excuse the following FCCLA officers. They will be working in the FCS room from 1st through 6th Hours this Thursday, Jan. 25.  They will be sorting the basketball homecoming t-shirts. High School orders will be delivered during the advisory period.  If they finish early they will return to class.

Friday, Jan. 26th is the last day to order a yearbook with personalization.  Yearbooks start at $50.  Very few extra yearbooks will be ordered so get your order in now.  If you did not receive an order form, extras are available in the office. Orders can be turned in to Mrs. Natalie or you may order online at Jostensyearbooks.com. Yearbook prices will increase on Jan. 27th.

The only students who should be exiting through the band room at the end of the day - are band students picking up their instruments.

 

Sr lunchroom accounts must be paid in full before Graduation.  Your parent should be getting a text if you have a balance.  You can ask me if you need to know your balance.

 

Any senior interested in taking the WorkKeys assessment see Mrs. Amber.
