Each shirt is priced at $7.30, plus tax, and will be conveniently delivered to the school the week preceding Field Day.

Exciting news this year! 😎

Attention Middle School Families
 
During the two full days of CMAS testing (April 15th and 16th), lunch will look a little different to prevent any disturbance to high school P/SAT testing. School lunches (cold sandwiches, etc.) will still be available but will be delivered to classrooms. Students may order in the morning with their CLAW teacher. Because students will need to stay in their testing rooms, students will not be able to have food delivered (ie. Door Dash, GrubHub).
 
Additionally, students will NOT have access to microwaves during these two days- plan to bring a cold lunch!
 
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for being flexible!

Volunteers Needed

Mrs. Neel and Mrs. Thurman are seeking volunteers for the following roles:

Snack Coordinators - We need grab-and-go snacks for guests to enjoy during the show. These should be store-bought and individually packaged, such as chips, goldfish, crackers, granola bars, Oreos, etc. You can drop them off or send them with your student anytime during the week of Monday, April 29th.

Door Greeters - We're looking for friendly faces to welcome families and students into the show.

Set-Up Helpers - With over 1000 works of art to hang, we need assistance with setting up. Please review the available slots and sign up to lend a hand.

Thank you for your support!


High School Final Exam Schedule for May 2024

We know the end of the school year can be hectic, especially when all the big tests pile up at once.

To make it easier for you and your child, the teachers have come up with a schedule for high school final exams in May 2024.

The aim is to spread out the exams over four days, so it's not too overwhelming.

Wednesday, May 15:

Regular classes for Blocks 1 & 2

Final exams for Blocks 3 & 4

Thursday, May 16:

Regular classes for Blocks 5 & 6

Final exams for Blocks 7 & 8

Monday, May 20:

Final exams for Blocks 1 & 2

Regular classes for Blocks 3 & 4

Tuesday, May 21:

Final exams for Blocks 5 & 6

Regular classes for Blocks 7 & 8

Wednesday, May 22:

Regular classes for Blocks 1, 2, 3 & 4

Thursday, May 23:

Last day of school, students dismissed at 12:30

📌 What about classes with tests that take more than one day?

Teachers will handle those separately, giving the test over a couple of days before the official finals schedule. On the scheduled final day, they'll give students other meaningful activities and assignments. For instance, if there's an essay to be done, students might turn it in early and then give a related presentation during the scheduled final.

What will teachers do on the "normal" days during the finals schedule?

They'll use the time to review and prepare for the test, offer extra time or makeup opportunities after the test, and do engaging activities related to the subject. They might also introduce topics from future courses or explore career options in the field.

📌 What about the seniors?

Seniors will have their tests during the second to last week, just like usual.

📌And what about classes with both seniors and underclassmen?

It's up to the teacher. They might have everyone take the final together and keep the underclassmen occupied during the finals schedule, or they might arrange for seniors to take the final early and underclassmen to take it during the scheduled finals.
