Wednesday, September 26 -- Advisory Picture Day

Advisory Photo: Each Advisory will organize their students for a group photo. Photos can be taken either in your classroom and/or right outside of your classroom. We will have 2 photographers on this day that divide and conquer to visit all Advisory classrooms. Security Monitors will walk ahead of the photographers to give Advisors a heads up of when to expect the photographer.

All grade level survey: During picture day Advisory on 9/26, we need all students to fill out this short two-question survey regarding home internet connectivity.

Students will need to use this link to fill out the form on their computers:



In case students are interested why we are doing this:
With network support from Sprint, the 1Million Project Foundation is providing eligible high school students across the country with 100% free mobile devices and free high-speed Internet for up to four years. This a completely free program for students who don’t have home internet.
