A valid, visible student parking pass is required for all vehicles on campus. Effective Monday, January 12th, we will begin ticketing and towing vehicles without a pass.

Stingrays, tutoring is available for all students after school on both Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 pm-4:30 pm. Students interested in attending are to report to the Media Center at 2:30 pm. Teachers will be available from all core content areas during this time.
FAST Progress Monitoring (PM2) testing will take place this week. 9th and 10th grade ELA students will be taking this assessment on Tuesday, January 13th. Attendance and best effort are important to provide students and teachers with data for instruction! Please remind your student to get a good night of sleep and eat breakfast prior to testing. Students need to make sure to bring their laptop and charger to school.
Senior parents make sure to mark your calendar so that you can attend our second semester senior parent meeting on Wednesday, January 21st, at 6:30pm in the auditorium.
