The junior/senior prom is just over a week away.  It will be held at the David Cole Quenn Ann Victorian Mansion which is located in northwest Portland.  The event will begin at 8 PM and end at 11 PM.  This is an exciting and fun evening for all students participating.  If your student will be attending this event, please speak with them to encourage safe and responsible behaviors over the course of the evening. 

It is good to see so much student interest in many of the new courses for next year.  We have a high number of requests for Film Studies, Honors Physical Science and AP Human Geography.  I am very encouraged by all of the students wanting to take advantage of new and challenging courses for next year. Scheduling is on track and going well. 

Softball, baseball and track are all enjoying some wonderful weather and success!  The baseball team is currently tied for first place, softball is the lone leader of the league and the track team has had some outstanding results. 

Student schedules are due this Tuesday in grades 8-11.  Schedules should be handed in to Language Arts teachers.  Once we receive the schedule requests from students we begin the process of entering requests into our scheduling system.  Once that is done we then balance class sizes, and make decisions about whether we need to make any class changes.  It is critical that we get all student schedule requests on Tuesday. In the end if students have not submitted a schedule, one will be made for them.  Please encourage your student to choose classes carefully because we will keep schedule changes to a minimum.  Student schedules will be mailed home with registration materials in early August.

We will be holding senior class meetings every two-weeks until graduation on June 7th.  At our meeting last Thursday we handed out a senior schedule of events.  The most important message to the students last week was that they must meet all of the requirements for graduation in order to participate in the graduation event.  We will meet with any student who is in jeopardy of not meeting requirements during the May1st-10th time period.  At that meeting we will review grades, credits, test scores etc. and notify the student and parents if graduation requirements have not been met.

Spring sports are in full swing.  Home baseball, softball and track this week.  Hoping for good weather!
