An exciting event is happening for all future youth entrepreneurs!
Senior Parents,
We held our annual Senior Meeting today to discuss all things that they need to know from now until graduation. Each of them received a senior packet outlining all things that they need to know. If your student was not in attendance, they can pick up a copy in the front office or you can view it using this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ak6KIMLz56Ro8PtLluRIikLuFbuZ3z0wNZMKGWhT8vk/edit?usp=sharing
The last page needs to be signed and dated by each student and their parent/guardian. Students will need to return the form to the hotspot by May 1.
We are excited to celebrate the graduation of the class of 2026!!
