Good morning-

Please remember to schedule your x-block activities for the following week by Friday of the week before. The Deans are spending a lot of time reminding people of this responsibility.

Term 3 ends this week on Wednesday, April 9. The grading window will open that afternoon and will close on Tuesday, April 15 at 8:15am. 

Meaghan, Carolyn and most of the counselors are out of the building for professional development on Monday, April 7. Please call 0 if you need anything. 

The following students have been randomly selected to take the PISA assessment on Thursday, April 10.  They will be in the DLL and main office conference room through the first three blocks of the day. 

During the week of April 14th, students are being invited to sign-up for an X-block to write teacher appreciation day cards. On Wednesday, April 9th, the Student Council would like your help during X-block to show a short (1 minute long) video to your X-block group to help promote this. (We're trying hard to get the students to realize why it might be nice to say "thank you" to some teachers!) Josh or Natalie will send out the video Wednesday morning for you to share. Please help them out with this!

Attached is the Senior Exam schedule. Please note the time change for the C block exam on Friday, May 30. If you need assistance with proctoring this exam, please let me know ASAP. 

Have a wonderful week!

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section.  New staff, please join the staff  Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The  class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Good afternoon- I hope you have been able to dig out from the storm. Tomorrow is sure to be a little chaotic, and I fully predict we will have students who don't understand the exam schedule changes and families who may keep their students home. We will need to be flexible! Stay warm! Here is the schedule for tomorrow:  G block exam: 10:30 am- 12 pm Lunch: 1st (12:05-12:35) - English, math, & science             2nd (12:40-1:10) - history, world language, unified arts, special education, ELL & wellness Students will need to be asked to remain in their class for first lunch and return to the class they were testing in for second lunch. We will do our best with this but are not going to stress about kids being elsewhere. We have no way of knowing how many G block students are staying for A block.  A block exam: 1:15 pm- 2:45 pm Along with the updated midyear exam schedule .  Grades for Term 2 will close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a...
