News & Events

May 14, 2009

There will be a yearbook signing party Tuesday 5/26/09 during 6th period in the cafeteria.  Tickets will be on sale for $2 during recess on Friday 5/22 and Tuesday 5/26 at the Student Store and during lunch behind Ms. Dinsmore’s office.  All funds raised will be used to purchase prizes for end of year activities (7th and 8th grade activities). 

 

Students are not to bring backpacks to school the last week of school – a yearbook and a pen are all that you will need.

  • Students are not to have water balloons or throw water/liquid/etc. on each other to, from, or while you are at school.
  • Any behavior resulting in a suspension will result in missing end-of-year activities up to and including the graduation ceremony.  Please be on your best behavior as we finish the year strong.

1.         Lost and Found Items in the cafeteria will be donated to Goodwill by Friday May 15th.  If you have lost an item please check the cafeteria during your recess and lunch.

 

2.         ALL LIBRARY BOOKS ARE NOW OVERDUE. TURN THEM IN TO CLEAR YOUR RECORD IN THE LIBRARY! We are missing many textbooks. Please make sure you have returned these expensive textbooks to clear your record. ALL LIBRARY BOOKS ARE NOW DUE! (You may keep and use the class sets of books checked out in your Language Arts classes until your teacher instructs you to turn them in. However, you are still responsible for returning or paying for any of these books by the last day of school!) Thank you for your help in getting all the library materials returned immediately. Mrs. Heisey

 

3.         Students who are attending Highland High School must turn in their registration packets to Highland NOT Ms. Dinsmore.

 

4.         7th grade Students:  Color Guard Try-outs will be held Monday 5/18 through Thursday 8/21, afterschool in room 320.  If you have any questions come and see Mrs. Ruiz.

 

5.         Attention 8th grade students: LAST DAY TO PURCHASE graduation gowns will be Wednesday the 20th of May sold outside of Mrs. Dinsmore's office.  The gowns will be $18 cash only.  If you are unsure if you are graduating and decide to buy a gown, do not open the gown as refunds cannot be made once the gown is opened.
