A Message from the Principal

 Dear Parents and Friends,

1. I will be having an ACT Prep Class starting tomorrow (Wed.) at 11:30 a.m. We will go until 1:00 p.m. - and then we'll decide if that's too long for a summer session. This course is for incoming juniors or seniors. We will discuss the makeup of the test, and look specifically at the English and Reading sections. I do not do math. I will have handouts for the students, there is no need to buy a prep book at this time.

Dates:

June 12, June 19, June 26

July 17, 24, and 31

We'll meet in my office, but we'll find a classroom if there are more than five students.

2. One of my goals for this summer is a re-visioning of our service component. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, if your son/daughter is doing service, just assume that we will count it toward their 70 hour requirement. Here's a great service opportunity for someone: our costume room is in real need of clean up and organization. This would probably take several days' work. If you know of a student who might be interested in tackling this project for service hours, just let me know.

3. A few reminders from the Activities Office:
