Our 9th/10th graders are very happy to have finished practice and regular OGT week. Any students that missed a
test will be making them up at the beginning of next week. We are very excited for this weekend as our
students will be showcased in the spring musical Aida (school edition). Tickets are available for all four
performances (Fri/Sat nights, Sat/Sun matinees). Next week will include a couple of celebrations with the
Winter Sports Banquet Tuesday evening and our annual Cum Laude induction ceremony Wednesday. Our
students will be completing the 3rd quarter next week, it is hard to believe how fast the year has gone by. Have
a great weekend!
Delayed Start Wednesday March 20th
The district will be on a delayed start for professional development on Wednesday March 20th. The warning
bell will be at 9:10am and students riding the bus or reporting to school early should report to the

significant change in an effort to increase academic rigor.
