This
is our first Mastery Monday of the year. Remember we will be following M-day
schedule (below). You will not meet in Advisory today after 2nd
period. You will go straight to 3rd block and will eat with that
class – schedule will be sent in separate email for your reference. Don’t forget – we dismiss at 3:30. Buses run at 4:30. If you don’t have a way home or off-campus at
3:30 you must report to the Commons for the hour.

STEM Bowling team tryouts are this Thursday, August
16 at 5 p.m. Meet at Fountain Lanes at 3315 N Broadway. Games
are $1.10 and shoes are $4.00. Be prepared to bowl a couple of
games. No experience necessary for tryout. Please
see Mr. Parker in D112 if you have any questions.

Venturing is an inclusive program
through the Boy Scouts of America for males and females aged 14-21. It is
operated through Venturing Crews, units of youth and advisors that meet on set
schedules and plan activities and events. Venturing is youth-led and
youth-inspired. If interested, check out this link https://www.scouting.org/programs/venturing/
Paper brochures are also in the office.
· New students
who still need a device. We will be contacting you through your Advisory class
to arrange delivery.
· Students
thank you for your patience as we continue to work through settling
schedules. We are still balancing class
sizes, rooms, seniors with graduation requirements to meet, and dual enrollment
conflicts. Please know we will work to
address conflicts but we will not change schedules because a student changed
his/her mind or just has a different preference at this time. Be sure to check your
schedule on Aspen every day for the next few days for any class or
room changes.

The ACT Senior Retake
Opportunity is Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018 at school. All seniors may take
the ACT for free on this date, whether or not they have previously
tested. All seniors are REQUIRED to complete the form linked below no
later than Tuesday, August 21st in order to register for or decline this
opportunity. The form contains further information. Reminder:
Taking the ACT is a graduation requirement in the state of
Tennessee. All seniors are encouraged to take the ACT more than
once as research demonstrates a 1-3 point increase in scores between the first
and second attempt and further increases in subsequent tests.
Quote of the day from Herm Albright:
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will
annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Practice L&N
Habits every day: Professionalism, Critical Thinking, Collaboration,
