For Monday, March 4, 2013
"N" Schedule Day
Enrichment Day
·
A reminder to students that we know we are on the countdown
to Spring Break – but we’re still in school!
Our expectations for behavior on campus are not changed. You should be where you’re supposed to be,
when you’re supposed to be there, doing what you’re supposed to be doing. That means no loitering around the elevator
or stair landings before school or at class change, no roaming upstairs before
school, and remembering you’re in a public place – act like the professional
learners that we know you are!
·
Please be on the lookout for a hat. It is beige/tan with stitching moving
vertically. On the back is a small metal
plate that says “RAST WILLIAMS.” If
found, please turn in to the office ASAP.
Thank you.
