This Thursday, we have an extended advisory time to enable our students the ability to give speeches for StuCo Executive level positions. The assembly should take 45 min to an hour. See bell schedule below. If we end a little early, lunch will be extended by a few minutes. Grades 9-11 students will meet in the HS gym to hear the speeches. Our grade 8 students will also be joining us for the speeches and will be included in the voting of leaders for next year. For those of you that are new, we moved our StuCo elections from May to April during my first year here. It may seem early, but it is perfect timing for our school. The timing affords our new student leaders time to plan and execute end of the year activities and get a great start for the 2019-20 school year, while our seniors focus on AP/IB exams and graduation.
Please let Jacob or Erica know if you have any questions.
- Thai food dinner will be available starting at 3pm on Thursday afternoon in the HS Faculty room
- A sandwich bar will be available during your assigned departmental lunch on Friday
- If you have any issues with confrontational parents please call the office, Tim or Jacob and we will come to support you in the classroom
