First Day of School, Aug. 22

Eagles,

Unless you're still in total denial, you're probably wondering where to go and what to do on the first day of school, Monday, August 22nd.

Here's the plan:

When you arrive on campus, report to the Big Gym to pick up a green copy of your schedule. (If you already picked up a white copy at Pre-Registration, you still need a green copy!)

Once you have your schedule, here's what you do:

9th Grade: Report to the Auditorium. Your day will begin with an
assembly, then you will be dismissed to 1st period.

Grades 10 - 12: Report to your 1st period class.

The 2011-2012 school year is going to be a great one, and I'm glad you're going to be a part of it!

Go Eagles!
