This week there was a large spike in Covid infections. A detailed email was sent separately. In light of this, we are cancelling large indoor events or moving them outdoors when possible. We strongly recommend that everyone wear a mask to school and at all school functions. It is very important for students who are ill to stay home and take a Covid test immediately. Ill students concerned about finals should reach out to their teachers. Students who are ill should also contact their teachers about the best way to submit work. Students who missed an AP test will be contacted about eligibility for late testing. Senior Finals will take place over the course of this week and the first day of finals for 9th-11th grade students is on Friday, May 27 starting with periods 3 & 7. Information about senior activities can be found on our website. There are 8 days of school left. Summer is almost here. |
