Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope you are all well.

We had an accident today when two students accidentally activated the fire alarm system. We have suspended the students involved and we ask that parents and guardians speak with their children about the importance of telling staff if they have made a mistake. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

AIMS testing is over except for a couple of students who have makeups.

We are starting to plan our end of the year graduation and awards ceremony. More information will follow.

We are also planning for summer school and dual enrollment. Families of students who we feel should be part of either program will be contacted next week.

We will also be asking next week if people are interested in journeying on one of the three trips we have planned for next year: Washington D.C., Japan, and Italy. Please let us know if you want to go on any of these trips.
