· Remember, lunch
is still on “lock down” until further notice.
You did a good job last Friday, keep it up to earn back the privilege of
eating where you wish. Your cooperation
is expected and appreciated. You’re
doing a good job. I’m almost convinced
you’ll do the right thing if we decide to let you eat elsewhere again.

Plan ahead everyone! Here are
two upcoming events that will affect many students:
o
TODAY, THURSDAY,

museum or the small lot at the corner of World’s Fair Park Drive.
o
Monday, Sept 14, we will be
administering the PLAN test to all sophomores.
If you are a sophomore and normally have M1 or M2 open block – you will
NOT on this date. You need to be here to
test at 9:30. To all others – we will
stay in M1 until time to go to M3, M2 will not meet on this date. Plan accordingly.
