if not staying for
lunch and you returned a permission form for exams, you may leave at 12:30, or
eat lunch and then leave by 1:15.
·
If riding a bus you must wait in Commons or Verandah (not
Plaza) until 4:30 when they run.
o All students on
campus should be in the Commons at 1:15.
Teachers will come there to meet you and take you to classrooms if you
are working with them.
o Friday – no cafeteria
service. Students should only attend if
they have an appointment with a teacher.
·
You need to plan on leaving your computer at school as
you leave on Thursday, no matter the time.
Those not turned in over break will be kept the same amount of time in
January even after we are back in school so as not all students will be without
it for the same time.
·
First day back for next semester is Tuesday, January 8,
2019. See you next year!
Community & Guidance Ops:

Seniors have you filed your FAFSA yet?
Quote of the day from Charles Dickens from A Christmas Carol:
[the
holidays are] “a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the
only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem
by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people
below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not
another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, though
it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has
done me good, and will do me good!”
Your
teachers and staff of the L&N wish for each of our students a holiday break
where you are reminded you are connected to those fellow passengers around you
and part of something bigger than yourself – and best wishes for 2019!
