GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Wednesday, March 11, 2015
“N” Day Classes
School Ops:
·
Today 3rd
period we’ll be administering the National Latin Exam for Latin II and III
students who registered in the Commons.
If this is you, please report directly to the Commons after Genius
Hour. All others be advised the Commons
will be closed to traffic and noise from 2:00 – 3:00.
· Special note about Genius Hour tomorrow,
Thursday: We need to meet in Advisory
classes instead of Genius Hour. We have
some business to take care of that needs to be done in Advisory Groups. Students need to remember that you receive a
.25 credit for Advisory each year to equal 1 full credit towards graduation
electives. The only requirement to earn
the credit is to attend and participate while there. Failure to report to your Advisory is a class
cut and will be subject to further discipline.
· BOSS Big Orange Symposium: This
is a chance for students interested in science, technology, engineering and
math career fields to experience hands-on scientific research skills. Saturday,
April 18, 2015 from 10am - 3pm in the Hodges Library at UTK. Registration closes Wednesday, April 15.

encouraged to attend as they also have a parent session with speakers from UT
Admissions, Housing, Safety, and more.
