Senior Announcements

Good afternoon Senior Families:

As we wind down the school year and prepare to celebrate the Class of 23, their accomplishments, their persistence, and their resilience, we want to remind all our seniors that our expectations for behavior remain unchanged. So far the Class of 23 has shown the type of leadership we hope for. You have truly been role models for our other students. As a result we are asking that you refrain from engaging in a senior prank, anything that could cause a panic among other students, destruction of property, or generalized disruption. We are operating in an environment where students, parents, and staff are more concerned about their safety and assume the worst automatically. What seems like an innocent gesture can quickly cause panic and disrupt the school environment. We are counting on our seniors to continue to show leadership and finish out their scholastic career on a positive and celebratory note.
