auditorium. The concert band will open the program followed
by the choruses and ending with jazz band. Admission is $5 for
adults and $3 for students.
Students in grades 9-11 will be taking standardized tests on
Wednesday, February 12th. These tests are very important for
the district and the building to determine curriculum strengths
and weaknesses. The Department of Education uses these
scores to make sure our district shows adequate progress on
increased state goals.
Due to this important focus on testing, we are allowing seniors
a day away from school. We encourage them to schedule college visits for this day. This is a great opportunity to visit campus to make sure paperwork is completed correctly, to check on
financial aid, and perhaps an opportunity to sit in on a class
with teacher approval. We also encourage seniors to consider a
job shadow if college visits are already completed.
