School
Ops:
·
Students – pay attention to the
schedule at the bottom of announcements today!
Times are changed because on Monday’s we have “Early Release”. School dismisses at 3:30.
o If you have a way off campus you need to leave
immediately. Any student who needs to
stay to wait for a ride or bus will report to the Commons until 4:30 (or your
ride gets here) for quiet study time.
o If you have Digital Labs and are coming in late – pay
attention to when classes start – don’t be late!

The
Downtown YMCA is offering a special membership for L&N STEM students.
Students can join the YMCA for $50 for the school year. (that
is a steal - normal health club memberships are $20 - $30
/month). The membership is only good for use at the Lindsey Young
Downtown YMCA. The Downtown YMCA is about a 5 minute walk from STEM (605 Clinch Ave). YMCA membership personnel will be at the L&N
STEM Open House Tuesday night to sell student and family memberships.
Tell your parents about this great opportunity! If you have any
questions ask Mr. Parker or Dr. Bretscher

Make plans to attend Open
House, Tuesday, August 16, 6:00 – 8:00.

· In-Home Tutoring
will be hosting a Free Mock ACT on Saturday, August 27 at 9 a.m. for all Knox
County students, at ITT tech. Students will get their results before they leave
and will get to keep their tests for their review. Limited seating is
available, so students need to pre-register to make sure they have a
seat. This is a great practice opportunity before the September
test. Sign-up directly from their
website at www.KnoxvilleTutor.com
