STUDENT INFO

Please do not park on the yellow lined “field” on the food court/front of school parking lot. It is located on the side closest to the turnpike. This is the WildBand practice field on campus. Thanks!  – M. Hughey (Tu,Th)

Students, mark your calendars for fall picture retakes.  They will be done on Wednesday, September 12 from 10:45-3:00 in the auditorium.  Anyone can come have his or her picture taken or retaken at any point during the school day as long as it occurs after 10:45, so this would be a great opportunity to take five minutes of your lunchtime or an afternoon guided study and come down to have your picture taken.  Because this is a Wednesday, students may also come after school until 3 pm to have a picture taken.  If this is a retake for a student, no sitting fee or purchase is required; however, if you are a senior and this is your first time having your picture taken this year, seniors must pay the $35 sitting fee in order to have proofs mailed to their houses.  Underclassmen must prepay if they want pictures delivered to the school.  Portrait order forms are available in the main office.  No one who is just having pictures made for the yearbook has to pay at all.  The senior class portrait will also be taken on September 12 at 1:10. (9/5  9/7  9/10  9/11) – R. Byrd

Any students interested in taking the ASVAB CEP test on Friday, September 28th please come and sign up in either Student Services or Guidance.  Please remember if any student has already taken the ASVAB test and sworn an oath of allegiance to a military service, they would be ineligible to test.  To help explain the ASVAB Career Exploration Program and its benefits, there is a 70-second video on the homepage of the website, www.asvabprogram.com.   (9.11 &  9.18)  C.Wilson
