It is important that you take care of any debts and turn in library books, textbooks, other academic materials, and athletic uniforms. Seniors will not receive their graduation tickets until all debts are paid, materials returned, and their Senior Exit form has been submitted (found on the guidance webpage later this spring). It is not too early to begin working on these items!
As always, please reach out with questions.
