Yearbooks will be distributed on Tuesday, May 13th during homeroom for students that preordered a book. If you did not order a yearbook but would like to purchase one, we will be selling the extra copies on Wednesday, May 14th. You will need to send $40 cash in an envelope marked with the student's name and homeroom teacher. Envelopes should be turned in to the grade level clerk between 9:00 and NOON on Wednesday. No envelopes will be accepted before 9:00 am or after noon on Wednesday, May 14th! We anticipate the demand for books will be greater than our extra supply. If there are more students that turn in envelopes than we have extra books we will decide by raffle who will receive a book. The raffle will begin with the 8th graders and then move to 7th and 6th. Once there are no more books, any students left without a book will have their money returned to them.

The Lunchroom will not allow students to charge lunch after April 30th.

Starting May 1, any money brought in will be applied to charges first and students will be provided a cheese sandwich and a white milk until all charges are paid off.

Attendance Policy Reminder: Parents/guardians should send a signed, written note to the homeroom teacher when the student returns to school to indicate the reason for the absence, within 48 hours. E-mailed excuses are also acceptable means of communicating absences. Please "CC" (courtesy copy) to the counselors when attendance excuses are e-mailed to homeroom teachers. Counselors assist with attendance. Parent notes or e-mailed excuses should include the name of the student, the date(s) of the absence(s), the reason for the absence, and a dayatime phone number. Doctor, dental and other medical excuses are also accepted and preferred.

6th Grade: Brett Syzmendera
