ACADEMIC PUSH PERIOD

·  If you are currently recovering a credit or enrolled in new credit through the Odyssey program, you MUST complete your course(s) by May 21.  If you do not complete by this time, you will have to start the Odyssey course over (under Knox County's new guidelines) or earn the credit through an alternate means (i.e. retaking it next year or enrolling in traditional summer school). See Mrs. Salerno if you have questions.

· Good luck to our track team athletes who are competing today at the Sub-sectional qualifying meet.  Run Gryphons, Run!

·      No learning lab meetings this week in the Depot before school due to testing schedules.
 
·      Interested in traveling abroad over Spring Break 2014? Have you always dreamed of visiting France, Ireland, Italy, or England?  If so, come to the interest meeting on May 10th at 8:45 in Room 214.  We will discuss where we want to travel, the cost, and what you need to do now to prepare for a trip of a lifetime.

· Thanks to all who came out to support SGA at the dance Saturday night.  We appreciate the appropriate behavior and dress by our students.  It looked like everyone had a great time – we’ll see you at the Fall SGA dance!

This week and next is the window for state EoCs and AP exams.  Watch every day for a separate “TESTING Announcement” in your email box.
Please remember that even though you are taking state End of Course Exams, your courses are not over.  Your teachers still have assignments, projects, and something to be in class for everyday!  Finish strong!
