ALL STUDENTS need to get pictures taken so we can update PowerSchool with these images.
Senior Portrait Information - Every senior must have their portrait taken. We use these images for the yearbook, at the graduation ceremony, for senior yard signs, and other graduation marketing (like the newspaper).

Trick or Treat Lane/Candy Competition – It is time to get ready for Trick-or-Treat-Lane! This is our community trick-or-treating event. It will be held on Monday, October 23rd from 6:00-7:30 pm. This is a drive-through, and we will cut the line off at 7:30 pm. However, it will take us until 8:30 to finish.
Here are two ways to help:
- Candy Competition: Get your first block on board and excited. The class with the most pieces of candy wins a breakfast party. We will use this candy to help support the event.
- Sponsor a booth: Sign up on the spreadsheet below. It can be a club, sport, individual or department. All you need to do is pick a theme (Sports it could just be your jerseys- for example: Football puts up a tent and wears their football jersey), decorate a tailgate tent, dress up, and hand out candy. You will need to collect your own candy. Be prepared for 1500-2000 kids. Please sign up this week!

Parking Lot Drainage Construction - Construction to fix the drainage issues in the front parking lot will begin Monday, 9/18. During construction, we will lose almost 100 parking spaces. The first two rows in the Senior Parking Lot (left side of TLH) and the first two rows in the Underclassmen Parking Lot (right side of TLH) will be fenced off and unavailable for student and faculty parking. Construction is scheduled to be completed on Friday, October 13.
I have asked all faculty, that normally park in the front parking lots to park in the back parking lot to make room for students that must park in the front. Some students who normally park in the Senior lot will need to park in the underclassmen lot while we are under construction.
We will be temporarily suspending the sale of new student parking passes. We are having to suspend the sale of new passes to make sure we do not issue more passes than we have spots available. As soon as the construction is complete we will resume selling parking passes.
I know this is not ideal timing to start a construction project. I appreciate everyone’s patience as we fix the drainage in the front parking lots.
Tardies to school: Parents, this is a reminder that being tardy to school does result in consequences for your student. Once a student reaches four tardies, the student will serve detention. You will be notified by email when this happens. Thank you for helping with this matter and ensuring your student has the best opportunity to succeed!
CADY Underclass retake picture day – CADY will be on campus on Friday, 10/13 from 8:00 – 12:30 for underclassmen students that need to have their picture retaken or missed the original date.

ALL STUDENTS need to get pictures taken so we can update PowerSchool with these images.
