GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Tuesday, August 23, 2016 – “L”
day
L&N Student Mission – #Own it!
School Ops:
· The elevator is currently out of order. It is being worked on, but please plan
accordingly or contact our front office to make arrangements if you need it to
move between floors.
·
Heads up to drivers and parents – two upcoming changes to schedules/parking:
o
Friday, Aug 26 – WFP Drive will have one lane closed in the
afternoon. Do NOT park to wait along the
Holiday Inn – it keeps buses from being able to reach our parking lot. Use an alternate pick up location!
o
Thursday, Sept 1 (next week) – school will dismiss and buses will run
at 12:45 p.m. Students who usually park
in the Blackstock public lot need to pick up a parking pass from the front
office for that day. You will not be
allowed in the lot without one!
·
Genius
Hour assignments were sent to you via email at the end of yesterday. You should check to see where you’ve been
placed. If your name is in GREEN, you
did not fill out the Google form and were placed in that activity. The
only requests to move that will be granted are those that come from teachers.
Community
& Guidance Ops:
·
PSAT
registration is now open to all 9th-11th graders. We would like to have
100% participation for our 9th, 10th, and 11th graders, even if students have
previously taken this exam. The registration form was emailed out to all
students and is also available in the Guidance office. The fee is $20 and
financial assistance is available--email sarah.salerno@knoxschools.org
if needed. Registration deadline is September 9th. Registration
forms and money can be turned in to Mrs. Johnson in Guidance.

Looking for something
interesting to do this weekend? Come to
Market Square/Krutch Park from 11:00 – 5:00 for the Knox Asian Festival. Find out more about the activities on their
website at http://www.knoxasianfestival.com .
· 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

of the day from Booker T. Washington:
You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to
overcome to reach your goals.
