Lancers:  Our final student assembly will be held this morning in the auditorium during the second half of second block.  An announcement will be made for classes to be dismissed around 9:55 a.m.

Today during all lunch shifts, we will be distributing the spring supplement to students who bought the 2015 yearbook.  Please remember to stop by the cafeteria to pick yours up. You may also stop by Room A206, next week, if you cannot pick it up today.

Also in the cafeteria today and Monday during all lunch shifts, parking permits will be available for purchase.  Applications are now available online and must be completely filled out, with a parent signature, in order to receive a permit.  Go to our school website and click on “Student Parking” for more information
