Important Reminder:
We have closed out third quarter; it is important that the members of our Senior Class meet all obligations required for graduation. Please confirm with Mrs. Fitzpatrick that you have completed all of your community service obligations as well as the payment of your class dues as soon as possible. If a student or a parent has a concern for the status of their senior relative to these obligations they can contact Mrs. Fitzpatrick or me by email.
Today, we mailed out letters to parents indicating exactly what obligations that their child has not completed. It is imperative that these obligations be completed sooner rather than latter. These obligations are part of their graduation requirements and failing to complete these will keep them being able to participate in any of the Senior Week activities including the graduation. Please complete these obligations!
