Good Afternoon 

The entire High School is buzzing with action as we celebrate our Seniors completing one of their few remaining milestones this Thursday with their last day of class, gearing up for Service Week and BTC trips to Thailand and Cambodia, and finishing up AP exams.  As mentioned in previous WGO’s, the month of May flies by, mostly due to the fact that there is so much going on.

We have always prided ourselves on the understanding/partnership/flexibility/encouragement of our parent community, and this has not been more evident than the past week.  We can’t thank you enough for all the positive emails and phone calls regarding Service Week and embracing the fact that learning can look different and take place outside the classroom.  We are always looking to improve our practice and this week is no different.  When it is all said and done, please feel free to reach out and provide us with some feedback.

Attending AP classes after the AP exam

• Work in AP classes will stop after the date of the AP Exam. These will become study hall periods. 

• You will be able to leave school if your AP class(es) take place at the end of the day. To do this you will need to go to your AP class and get a blue pass from the teacher. This will allow you to leave campus.  

  • • If you have two AP classes back to back you can leave at the start of the first one. 

    • If you have a study hall adjacent to an AP class you do not have to attend study hall

    • You may leave at lunch if your AP class is after lunch

    • Tuesdays, depending on our schedule you may leave at the following times 11:20 or 1:15. 

    • If your day starts with an AP class you may arrive at the start of your first non-AP class. When you arrive at school please check in at the HS or Counseling Office

Celebrating our Diverse Cultures - Upcoming Student Event 

The HS Compassion Club is sponsoring a high school event for students grades 9 - 12 on May 28 during the school day (12:40 - 1:55). Students are invited to host booths that showcase their cultures. 

• We would like for each booth to have some food and cultural products and/or practices, as well as a bit about the history/geography of the culture and/or country represented. 

• We are asking parents to help provide food or snacks from the culture for those high school students who volunteer to host booths. Students should be communicating with you about this event in the coming week. 

• We also invite parents to contribute to student booths by means of artisanal crafts, artwork, tapestries, music, maps, clothing, games, or any other cultural products to share. 

• Our diversity enriches us, and we invite parents to support their children in sharing this richness.
