Seniors that have earned the Seal of Biliteracy or who WANT to earn the Seal:  There is a meeting after school Thursday, Jan. 20th at 3:15 in Room 221.  To ensure that the Seal is placed on your diploma and that you have a Biliteracy Medal to wear at graduation, you must complete the mandatory paperwork with Ms. Dixon. 

Attention All Students: 
As usual, we will have the option for students to use reading rooms during Friday's spirit day festivities.  There is a sign up for pep rally, midday activities, and afternoon activities.  One is posted upstairs by Ms. Hale’s room for middle school and auditorium doors for high school.  There are three middle school reading rooms and three high school reading rooms.  Please make note of which room you should report to when you signup. Students should not need to go anywhere while in the reading rooms (except the restroom).  This is not a punishment but an opportunity for students that do not deal with noises or crowds to have a quiet location.  Once a student is in the room she or he is to remain there until the next activity.  Attendance will be taken in each reading room.
