Middle school students will be taking the GSA test next week. They need to arrive at school by 8:00 with fully charged iPads. It is also a good idea to bring headphones that can be plugged in to their iPad.

Senior Parents:
Seniors will be collecting iPads and cleaning out lockers on Monday, May 19. Please make sure your senior is present.
Tuesday, seniors will be taking any make up exams that they have.
