Hello Just some notes for Monday, March 10. Today's Tennis match has been moved to Tuesday, March 18. There is no tennis match today. Tonight is the Falcon Academic Night from 6:00pm-7:30pm. It's not too late to register to attend. There will be a lot of fun, interesting raffle prizes and information for our families as we prepare for the 2025-2026 school year. NOTE: A parent must be in attendance to be entered into the raffles. Also, each Senior who attends and brings a parent, will be given an additional outdoor ticket for graduation!! As part of our instructional make up time from the recent winter weather closures, this Wednesday, March 12 is a regular school day, not an early dismissal. Daily schedules for each day for the next 2 weeks will be our Flex Homeroom schedule as we continue to prepare for the ACT to be given on Wednesday, March 26. While our Juniors are doing some hard core preparing for the ACT, our other grade levels are discussing registration for next school year, and our Seniors are doing activities to get them ready to fly the nest. Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff and school!
