December 14th ACT Information:
For a limited time, students can get their Test Information Release (TIR) at a discount. Research showed that more students who retested after purchasing their TIR improved their score, and their score gains were twice as high on average as those who did not participate in TIR or other test prep. The TIR includes their answers, the December test questions, and the answer key to target future study. Encourage your students to register now with code TIRGIFT!

However, the Homecoming Procession will still take place on Friday but with a new start time. It will be held from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM in the arena, with the pep rally to follow immediately afterward.
Homecoming maids will be allowed to leave after the procession concludes.
The Homecoming Football Game Procession will begin at 6:25 pm on the football field. Umbrellas will be provided if it is raining at that time.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make these changes to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Please stay tuned for further updates regarding the rescheduled Student Tailgate.
Thank you for your continued support!
