Weekly Update 10/4/24
Weekly Announcements: September 30 - October 4
Test Day
All grade 9-11 students will take the digital PSAT on October 9. Testing will begin at 7:30 a.m. and regular testing will conclude around 11:30 a.m. Seniors who signed up for the SAT should arrive at South Campus at 7:30 a.m.
Juniors with a South Campus parking pass should park in the student lot on North Campus. Seniors with a North Campus parking pass should park in the lot behind Loos Center for the Arts.
As a reminder, students must arrive at school on time with their iPad fully charged. Room assignments have been sent via email. In addition, students should bring a calculator and water/snack to have during the short testing breaks as no lunch will be provided on test day. Since no classes will meet, students do not need to bring their materials for classes.
Breakfast Hours in Dining Commons
To ensure our cafeteria staff can continue providing excellent service and to help students arrive at their first block on time, please note that breakfast service ends promptly at 7:30 a.m., with the register closing at 7:35 a.m. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping things running smoothly for everyone.
