For Monday, May 6, 2013
"L" Schedule Day
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!
Brown Bags:
RSVP to Mr. Smith – you MUST email or check in with your Advisory
teacher to attend any Brown Bag event. Attendance will be taken!
