    Announcements:

    • Welcome back, Panthers!! We hope you had a long, enjoyable break and are ready to begin a fresh, new semester! Here are a few things to note as you return on Wednesday:
      • Welcome Back Bell Schedule
      • School starts at 8:30am - we do not have late-start until the following week.
      • When arriving, please go directly to your Advisory class where you will enjoy some fun activities and get an overview of the school rules at your Class Assembly.
      • Please bring your devices fully charged and ready to go.
      • This will be a one-lunch day.
      • Remember, we operate on a what is called a "4x4 (four-by-four) Schedule" which means that a full year's course is taken in just one semester. You will have a brand new class schedule with all new classes starting Wednesday, so check Homelink (you will have time in your Advisory class too). This also means that your lunch may shift since lunches are based on where your 3rd period classes are held. 
      • Be prepare for inclement (poor) weather. The weather prediction is changing regularly, so be prepared for rain just in case. Arrive early and dress accordingly (please leave your blankets at home - this is not appropriate for school).
      • You will check out textbooks with your new classes later this and next week, so no need to stop by the Library/Research Lab.
      • If you are experiencing issues with your laptops, please arrive by 8am in the Library/Research Lab for assistance so you do not miss your activities taking place with your Advisory class.

      • This is a great time to finish the FAFSA - this is a federal form that is required by all students who enter any educational institution after high school (including community college, universities, private schools, certificate programs, etc.). Schedule about an hour and have your parents' tax filing handy. Click here for lots of help...
      • Don't forget to complete your Personal Finance Course (required for graduation). Click here to sign up for your exam after the break.
      • Complete your Sierra College apps!

     

    • Sign up for Track & Field - Our Track & Field team is taking signups for our season which begins in February.  Athletes should sign up ASAP at bit.ly/TrackPanthers in order to stay informed and up to date with information between now and the start of the season. (Coach: Mr. Hanan)

     

     

    • Canned Food Drive - We had triple the results from what we had hoped for with Mr. Dreyer's class in for the last minute win with more than 500 cans!!! Thank you, everyone, for the love and support while we help to restock the supply at the local food bank.

     

    • Almost Maine - A huge shout-out to the students and families who brought our first fall performance to The Grove!
