Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

It’s Halloween! And there are a HORDE of ghosts, goblins, and inflatable chickens roaming the halls today. Big shout out to all of the students and staff who got into the Halloween spirit.
.
But please remember that everyone must abide by the Halloween guidelines. Costumes may not be offensive, no weapons, no masks, nothing inappropriate. — and everything else you see on your screen. And if you’re not sure — just ask a teacher or administrator.
.
Thanks for understanding, and Happy Halloween!!
