Hello Ravens,

We hope you had another great week. Next week we kick off our winter spirit week! Below you will find the events and spirit days we will have.

Enjoy a long weekend and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day, and remember, our Winter Pep Rally is on WEDNESDAY. Additionally, there are NO BLOCK periods next week, and we will not have seminar on Thursday. The alternate bell schedule for Wednesday and Thursday are below. Tuesday and Friday are regular 1-7 schedules.

On Tuesday, January 27th, only students who need to take the ACCESS test and students with a D or an F in one or more classes will report to school; all other students will have a release day.  

Students required to take the ACCESS test will be sent individual communication via email. Students taking the ACCESS need to bring their school-provided Chromebook and charger for testing. 

Students with a D or an F in one or more classes should report to library 200 from 8:30 am to 11:00 am on January 27th to attend tutoring

Have a great three day weekend.
