School Ops:
·
Note today’s AP testing is occurring at the Holiday Inn
and in the Guidance office, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Students are reminded to be
aware of noise levels around the plaza until about 12:45 today. Be kind to your testing classmates!
·
Students – a note
about the new electric scooters available around the downtown area. If you read the fine print in the App to rent
them you will find they are not allowed to be ridden on sidewalks. Individuals riding on the sidewalks within
our campus boundaries will be stopped and asked to leave. Students are not allowed to rent and leave
the scooters parked on our campus. There
is nowhere on campus to legally park them.
When we find them we will be forced to call the company and have them
removed from our property. Wait until
after school hours if you intend to rent and ride – and then don’t do it on our
campus!
·
You should have received
permission slips to leave at half-day on final testing days next week (Tues
& Wed, May 21 and 22). Please be
sure to get them signed and returned ASAP.
If you are over 18 we still need a parent’s signature; in your case it
is about being informed, not giving permission.
If you need one they are available in the front office.
·
Heads up Thursday, 5/16, is
graduation at 3:00 at Thompson Boling Arena.
We will meet L3 and L4
classes in the morning only and dismiss at 12:20. Students can stay to eat lunch or leave at
12:30. Buses will run at 4:30. If you need to ride a bus home you cannot
leave and come back on campus. You will stay in the Commons. Make plans now!
·
Looking for a
wallet lost on Wednesday at school. It is a men’s black leather will a power
orange T on it. Please turn in to the
office if found.

Ms. Carter needs volunteers for two
different summer camps for this upcoming June and July. We will be hosting an
Oak Ridge Computer Science Girls camp for middle school aged girls at the
school on Friday June 14th, 9 – 12:30. We will be hosting a Rocket
Camp for High Schoolers at the school on Monday – Friday, July 15th –
26th, 9 – 12:30 and also need volunteers. Both of these can be
recorded for service hours. Please email Ms. Carter for more information or to
volunteer.

If you
are interested in taking a course in summer school either to recover a credit,
improve a grade, or attempt a new course, you will find all information
at http://bit.ly/LNSummerInfo. From there you will be able to find
the link to registration, pay your summer school fees, and see the course
offerings for this year. The offerings are subject to change, so please make
