    Good evening, Trojans. This is principal Matthew Price with your weekly announcements.

     

    Wednesday is our 8-period remediation day. Students should be ready to submit any missing work by Wednesday in order to receive credit. Friday is a teacher workday. There will be no school for students.

     

    Seniors: Tomorrow will be the final pick up for Cap and Gown pick up during both lunches. Please remind your student to stop by the Jostens table in the lobby to gather their purchases.

     

    Also…Senior Decision Day is quickly approaching. This event is for graduating seniors and is a time to celebrate you and the post-secondary decisions you all have made. We would love all students and staff to rep their next step gear, whether this is the college you are attending or previously attended, the branch you are enlisting in, etc. Students who preregistered for this event are welcomed to come out on April 29th from 9:30-10:30 to the big gym to celebrate and be celebrated. 

     

    Attention rising senior parents: Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28, there will be an important information session for the Class of 2027 in the auditorium from 6–7 PM. We will discuss our new picture company, Cady, as well as additional senior requirements and reminders. Please be in attendance.

     

    May 5th is the last formal Interact Club meeting right after school. Come enjoy food, friends, and celebrate our seniors in the second floor common area. Don't forget to bring a pair of shoes for Soles for Souls!

    Lastly, as a part of the state wide ‘Protect Our Students’ initiative, and in conjunction with state law and WCPSS Student Services, we are required to show a series of videos to our student body. These will be shown next week on May 5th during class. Our guidance counselors will be on hand to support our students if needed. A parent letter from WCPSS will be included in the digital version of this message (email) that provides more detail. 

     

    These are all the announcements that I have for this week. Everyone be sure to lock in for Wednesday’s 8-period day and as we begin exams in some of our advanced level classes. GO TROJANS!
