Principal's Blog for the Week of January 12th - 16th

Midterm Exams
Important Information:
Tuesday January 20th is the first of four consecutive days of Midterm Exams for our students.  The first exam is at 7:20 and completes at 9:00.  The second exam on Tuesday will begin at 9:10 and conclude at 10:50.  We will follow this schedule for all four days of exams and all four days are scheduled as early release days. 

Tuesday - Periods A + B
Wednesday - Periods C + D
Thursday - Periods E + F
 Friday - Periods G + makeups

A point of clarification on the exam procedures:
In the letter that went home to parents and that is posted both here and on our website, there is an error.  The correction is that should we have inclement weather resulting in a 2 hour delay we will still conduct both scheduled exams and the students will end up being dismissed at 12:50 instead.  So the testing times for a 2 hour delay will be 9:20 - 11:00 and 11:10 - 12:50. 

Please be sure that you have taken a few minutes to review the procedures and expectations for these exams that are detailed in the letter that went home. They can be found posted below in this blog or you can find it posted on the school's webpage.
