During Homeroom this week, students will be working on their individual growth plans in Khan Academy and learning about primary elections. There is a Financial Literacy Night for seniors and their parents this Wednesday May 1st from 3 to 4 PM in the high school library. Our partners, INvesteEd will be sharing key steps in finalizing your college funding plan. They will share tips on comparing financial aid offers, options to fill any gap in college costs, and answer any other questions you may have. Seniors may wear jeans and a shirt representing their future plans on National College Decision Day, which is this Wednesday May 1st. Prom is set to take place this Saturday May 4th, which should be an exciting and fun time for our students. We are hoping that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.
