Room H-10 will be opened for tutoring, mornings at 8:25, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for all students.

During this rainy week be sure to take extra care of your books! If you're bringing a book to the library, keep it dry by carrying it under your coat or putting it inside a plastic bag. Plastic bags also help keep things dry INSIDE your backpacks, so consider using them all week. The library has extra bags if you need one. Remember that rainy weather will not excuse water-damaged library books. Avoid fines and keep your books dry!

Just a reminder that breakfast food must stay in the cafeteria in the morning. If you are going to save an item such as a granola bar or pop tart for later in the morning, please put it away in your backpack before leaving the cafeteria in the morning.

The big Blue Recycling containers around campus are NOT trashcans. Please do not put food or trash in them. They are for water bottles or aluminum cans only (no paper trash). The money that is collected from recycling goes directly back to students to sponsor events such as field trips. Please respect the blue bins.

Did you run out of paper? Forget your pencil at home? Never fear, the Student Store is here! Come down to the ASB office to purchase basic school supplies for only $0.25 or $0.50 each.
