On Friday, February 15, VIP students will receive a catered lunch during lunch bells. Students with a VIP pass have many benefits not available for the rest of the students including the ability to use their pass as a pre-signed pass from lunch or study hall. Being a VIP also gives students four more passes in their agendas and they may also go outside during their lunch bell.

VIP passes for quarter two were handed out Monday, February 11 during Guided Study Hall. The criteria to be a VIP this quarter was 95 percent attendance, 95 percent on time to school, no major referrals, and all grades of 75 or above during Quarter Two.

Vice-Principal Ms. Stephenson congratulated students on these accomplishments.
