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

It’s Halloween! And there’s 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 — err on the side of caution and DON’T WEAR IT! Or, ask an administrator. Thanks for understanding, and have a Happy Halloween!!
.
Believe it or not, but TODAY is the last day of the 1st Quarter! So be sure to check StudentVue and talk to your teachers about any missing assignments or make-up work. Again, grades close TODAY.
.
Calling all athletes!! If you were on the WMS boys or girls ultimate teams, the co-ed tennis team, or the girls soccer team, please return your uniform to Ms. Hogwood by next FRIDAY, November 8th. You may be charged for a replacement if you don’t! So once again, please RETURN YOUR UNIFORM!!

Attention Anime Club! The Anime Cosplay Party is next Wednesday during ASP1 in room 109! Remember to bring your costumes. It’ll be ANIME-zing!!
