Students who need to ride activity
shuttle bus after extracurricular activities each evening, should sign up in the
high school office each day before 3rd period. You are required to sign up if you want to
ride. After 3rd period begins
is too late to sign up, so please get into the habit of doing this each morning
that you need to ride.

Deadline for signing up with EF
Seniors: Your name tags are done – you can pick
them up in the office on Thursday morning.
Students: your bookbags need to be
stored in your lockers during the school day. They also need to be
taken to lockers before lunch. They cannot be left on the floor of
classrooms or hallways – they are considered a fire hazard.
Attendance is vitally important to your
learning and success in your academics. It is difficult for teachers to
give you instruction and help you when you are not present. According to
the student handbook, students can miss only 5 days of each class per
semester. You need to be fully aware of this and avoid missing
class. Keep in mind that your future employers will be asking about your
attendance at school. If you absolutely need to be absent from
class/school, please bring in a note or have your parent/guardian contact the
HS office. If you have any questions about the attendance policy, refer
to your student handbook or talk to Mr. Embrock.
You are welcome to play with the
basketballs and volleyballs in the gym during lunch as long as you put all of
the balls away at the end of the period. Thank you.
Juniors—Please turn in your magazine
sales to Vicki if you have any brought to school
