HS Announcements: Wednesday, Oct. 31st High School

1. Next Tuesday, Nov. 6th, is Picture Retake Day. All Seniors will have their Composite Picture taken. This picture is for the large framed composite picture that goes on the wall in the hallway. We will start first thing on Tuesday. Next Tuesday is also picture retake day for any students in grades 6-11 who were absent on picture day or who need a retake for some reason.

2. Reminder to students that have completed a fall sports season and want to take advantage of the PE Waiver. Forms can be picked up in the office or guidance office. Once your season is complete, get your coach to sign-off and then turn the form in to the office.

The boys team will run at 11:00am and the girls will run at 1:30pm. Admission to the state meet is $9.00 per person.
