Attention seniors: Lunch release and study hall release forms for trimester 2 have been emailed to your parents.  Once your parents have submitted the forms, they will be reviewed by the counselors.  If you qualify for release, you may pick up your release card from the main office.
Did you know that breakfast is free for all students everyday?  While we have returned to paying for lunch, breakfast is still free for everyone.  Stop by the to-go cart in the commons or go directly to the cafeteria each day before school to pick up your breakfast and feed your brain for the morning.  If you need help paying for lunch, please complete the educational benefits application, which can be done on the parent portal or on a form found in the guidance office.

Seniors, the deadline is approaching to order your cap and gown for graduation. Schedule your senior meeting with your counselor so you do not miss this deadline.
