Important Reminders

  • Only one student is allowed out of a classroom at a time unless there is a specific and necessary reason to allow more, which should be rare. 

  • If a student wants to go to another teacher’s classroom (or any location for that matter) during a study hall, they need to have a pass from the teacher, either written or through Orange Passes. This is true for the Guidance Office, Ram Lab, and Roosevelt Rooms. 

  • Students should not work unsupervised in the building unless they have been given to do so by a teacher.

  • Students must remain in the cafeteria during lunches. 

Important Reminder for Students in an Advanced Placement Course

AP Students! This week is your last week to sign up for AP exams in the spring! Please submit your form and deposit to the Main Office. Any registrations received after this week will incur a late fee. Please see Mr. Chabot with any questions. 

Travel to Europe’s Mediterranean Coast!

In our meeting, we'll cover everything from how this opportunity will benefit students, what's included in the experience, how we'll keep the trip safe and affordable, and much more. Registration for this session is mandatory to help organize our meeting, and a parent or guardian must attend. Can't make it? Choose "No, but send info" so you don't miss out!

There will be an informal meeting for students Friday Nov 6 during EA clubs & activities. Students can sign up with their advisor!
