Seniors and Juniors – if you
were not on campus on Friday, please come by room 213 in the Station to see Mr.
Sharp to get your computer back. Be sure
to follow re-registration directions for it very carefully. We discovered a mistake that resulted in some
students having incorrect registration on Friday. Sophomores and freshmen – your computers are
being worked on and will be returned as soon as they are ready. We do not yet have a firm date for that yet.
