“Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.” ~Francesca Reigler

JHS Juniors that are traditional in person classes: You will be taking the ACT on Tuesday April 6. Information that you will need before testing. 1) If you want to bring a mouse to plug into the chromebook to use for testing you may. (2) You will get a 30 minute lunch after section 4. You will not be able to leave the building so you will need to bring your lunch or eat in the cafeteria. (3) You cannot have your cell phone during testing including the 30 minute lunch so I would suggest just leaving your phone in your car or your locker. Junior Virtual students will test on Wednesday, April 7 and have the same guidelines as above. Have a great Easter Break

JHS students of Native American Heritage: See the attached flyers about a free college readiness workshop with great information about the college going process. Space is limited. Register as soon as possible by scanning the QR code on attached flyer
