The school dance season is upon us!  Each class has its own end-of-year dance, scheduled:

• Freshman Frolic: March 22
• Sophomore Hop: April 26
• Junior Prom: May 10
• Senior Prom: May 31

All students and parents should be check out with the school's dance policies, as they are carefully enforced at every event.  It is most important for students to remember to stay safe while they have fun.

 Senior portfolios will be collected on March 8, 2013.  Seniors will be placed on academic probation if the following items are missing:

• complete reflective essay
• 5-6 entries described in the essay
• completed reflections for each entry

 Make sure those portfolios are ready to turn in!
