Seniors: You can still order a panoramic photo. Turn in the order form to the main office OR order one online. Online information was posted in your Schoology account.  Student chromebooks have a fan for cooling on the bottom of the device.  If you block the fan by having the device sitting on a bed, pillow, or other soft material it will overheat and potentially no longer work.  If that happens, you will be responsible for the repair/replacement of the device.  

Other reminders:  

  • no stickers or other items are to be applied to the device. 
  • no eating or drinking while using the device

Seniors with a lunch or study hall release: You must get to your classes on time. Those that come in late from a release, may have these privileges revoked. 
Starting today, all cars in the student parking lot must have a parking permit. See Ms. Sievert if you have not yet received your permit.   Attention students:  Food must stay in the cafeteria. Students are not allowed to eat lunch in the common areas or staff offices, and must be in the cafeteria during their lunch times.
