Due to the response and number of forms turned in, the PG committee is attempting to acquire a 4th bus.  With that in mind, if there are additional students that still would like to attend but have not turned in their form, we will take up to 30 more participants.  The forms will be accepted first come first serve.  Confirmation of the additional bus will be contingent on the additional seats.        

 Students and parents, the window for Credit Recovery begins 6/16, Mon thru Thur; 9-1.  Any student interested in attending Credit Recovery should speak to and sign up through their Counselor.  We are also offering a chance to retake EOC’s for Math 1, Math 3 and Eng 2 for any student that did not pass their EOC this past Fall 2024 semester.  See your math teacher, English teacher or Mr. Reed for more details and how to sign up.
