· Reminder
for Open Block students (ESPECIALLY SOPHOMORES) if you have middle of the day
open block: now that UT is back in session, you must always sign out WITH
someone. DO NOT walk off campus
alone. Sophomores must limit your visits
off campus to the path from our school to the Starbuck’s at Hilton, the YMCA,
or the KMA. Remember – open block check
out is a privilege that can be lost! Be
trustworthy!
