Attention Students:  Super Saturday is back!  This year, beginning

May 9, we are adding 3 one hour Regents Readiness workshops after school from 2:10-3:10 in each content area designed to provide content review, test taking strategies and practice questions.

Students are also invited to join us on Super Saturday, May 12 from 9:00 to 1:00 to engage in a simulated testing environment for the exam of your choice.  Transportation is provided for the 3 Regents Readiness workshops, however, students must provide their own transportation for Super Saturday.  Space is limited, so sign up as soon as possible.  You can sign up by filling out the online form located on the district website or ask a teacher to send it through Remind 101.  If you have any questions, please stop by the 1 East Office.

Attention Juniors:  Now is the time to schedule your Junior Conference.  This is a great opportunity to meet with your counselor to start discussing your post high school plans and begin the college search process.  Please come down to the Counseling Center to schedule your appointment.

Attention Seniors:  The senior t-shirt list is posted outside of the 1 West Office and Guidance Office.  Please check your name to see if it is on the list and spelled correctly.  DO NOT write on the list. If you see something that is incorrect, report to the 1 West Office and inform us of the issue.  The lists will be posted until Friday, April 27.  These names will appear on your senior t-shirt so be sure to check your name and report any issues.

Today marks the 22nd National Day of Silence, a day where we recognize the historical “silence” of the LGBT community.  Today, certain designated members of our Gay-Straight Alliance will be participating in the Day of Silence, and they will be carrying slips of paper to show to teachers and staff to explain their silence.  These students understand that it may be necessary for them to speak if absolutely necessary for academic purposes.  All of us can honor the Day of Silence in our own way, such as: staying silent at lunch; keeping silent on social media for the day: meditating for 15 minutes…During your silence, just remember those who have had to keep silent because of who they are.

Are you thinking about going to the prom this June?  Make sure that you are in good standing, which means on track to graduate.  You can have no more than 18 absences in a full-year course and no more than 9 in a half-year course.  You must also attend one of the mandatory Prom Lawyer Meetings!
