Just a quick reminder that the High School is MSTEP testing on Tuesday, April 30th. Only 11th graders will be in attendance at school during the morning hours. A modified 2-hour delay schedule will be used for all other high school students. All students must log in for distance learning starting at 11:30 am. Juniors must report for their normal start time (7:55 am) with a fully charged Chromebook. A good night's rest and a good breakfast in the am are always good things to prepare for a morning full of testing. They will be allowed to leave school after their testing is completed and then must log on at 11:30 for distance learning. High School practices can begin no earlier than 3:30 pm. Best of Luck, Everyone. Thanks and Go Panthers!!
