**Summer school is Tuesday, May 27th-Friday, June 27th. If a student needs to take summer school or there are questions regarding summer school, please contact the student’s guidance counselor Mrs. Vambaketes or Mrs. Struif in the Guidance Office.
**Mrs. Robinson has shared the 2nd semester attendance exemption list. In order to be on this list a student must have 3 or fewer excused absences and 2 or fewer tardies. If you clear obligations and have a C or better in a class you don't have to take that final. This list has taken a lot of time to put together so there could be errors. If you think there is an error please stop by the Attendance Center. This list will also be updated for attendance daily. Also remember that if you have an A and now a B because of the student council food drive, regardless if you are on the attendance list, you are exempt from the final that you have an A or B in the class.
**Junior NHS Members: There will be a meeting this coming Monday, May 12th during academic lab in room E121 for all juniors in the National Honor Society to discuss next year's senior mentor program. An email list will be sent before the meeting of juniors that need to attend.
**Juniors--If you are interested in joining Spirit Club your senior year please sign up in the document that Mrs. Robinson shared. We will start having meetings at the end of July or beginning of August to start planning for the year so please check your email over the summer.
