Halloween is tomorrow and we look forward to seeing everyone’s costumes. However, you are reminded of the difference between culture and costume. Sometimes costumes that rely on harmful stereotypes can cause pain to others. When considering a costume, think of whether it would show honor or disrespect for a group, person, or culture. In keeping with our school’s emphasis on inclusiveness and respect, please be sure to avoid costumes that exhibit cultural appropriation or perpetuate stereotypes. When in doubt, choose a different costume.
Attention Student Drivers: now that the far lot is filling up quickly, if someone is parked in your spot, take a picture of the license plate and give it to the main office. If you do not have a parking placard you cannot park on campus.
If you have not received your bus pass, please stop by the main office.
Picture retakes have arrived and are available in the main office.
If you ordered a yearbook last year, please stop by the main office to pick up your supplement of spring events.

Please do not leave backpacks, sports equipment, etc. unattended. Put any sporting equipment into the locker rooms before school.
