Attn Sophomores: Beginning on Monday, January 26th, counselors will be meeting with current 10th graders to discuss course requests for the 2026-2027 school year. Appointments have been made for all 10th graders, and the list is hanging on the bulletin board outside of the counseling office and on the cafeteria window.  Be sure to check the list for your appointment. You will also receive a Google Calendar invitation for your appointment. Be sure to accept it so your counselor knows that you will attend the meeting. Mrs. Antoniello sent an email to all 10th graders and parents with important information about your appointment. Course selection sheets were attached to the email and are also available in the counseling office. Stop in counseling with any questions.

Attention Seniors, please don’t forget to sign up for the fashion show via the google form Mr. Mednick sent.
