Administration would like a head count in regard to food and Buses! Please note, this is a different survey than the one guidance sent out… so you have two surveys to complete on schoology.

Additionally seniors, guidance has posted the names of the students who are invited to the School Based Senior Awards night this Tuesday, May 16th. Please check the list, if your name is on there, stop by the guidance office and pick up your invitation! There will be a separate list posted at a different time for the Community Senior Night Award Invites.
