For Monday,

May 22, 2023

Seniors, the following announcements are for you:

  • Chromebook Return –  Many of your Chromebooks will be passed on to the middle schools, so be sure you have removed all stickers and decals from the Chromebook along with any glue residue.  Products like Goo Gone or a hair dryer work well to complete this task.  If the device is returned with stickers, decals, or a sticky residue, a $20 fine will be assessed.  Also don’t forget the power supply.  If that is missing, it will cost you $10.
  • Your 250s and Lunch Detentions must be served BEFORE you will receive a final signature from an administrator on your sign out form Wednesday morning.  If you think you missed one or are wondering if you have any, stop by the Main Office today or tomorrow to check you are clear for Sign Out. 

2023 Yearbooks are ready for pick up in Mrs. Alburtus’ room 2120 before or after school or between classes for those students who have not yet picked up books. The yearbook staff will be working this week to see if there are any extra books available for purchase after they ensure that each student who pre-ordered a book gets a book. The yearbook staff has received several emails from students and parents inquiring about extra books for sale. Those people will get a response sometime this week as the yearbook staff works to figure out if there are extra books for sale or not. Got questions? Reach out to Mrs. Alburtus.

Spring dance attendees:  Did your suit jacket fit differently on the way home?  If so, we have your jacket and would like to get the one you have back to its owner!  So before you send it off to the dry cleaner or hang it in your closet, please double-check to make sure you have your jacket!  

From your Athletic Department, where it’s always a great day to be a Mustang!

Boy’s Soccer has an informational meeting in Coach Halloran’s room, 2103, on Wednesday at 2:50 for folks interested in playing next year.  See Coach if you can not attend.

Hey, Mustangs! Know what today is? It’s Yearbook Distribution Day! During 7th hour, students who purchased a yearbook will be called down to the Commons to pick up their book. Call downs will start with seniors near the beginning of the hour. If you cannot get your book during 7th hour, you will need to pick it up from Mrs. Alburtus’ Room 2120 on Monday before or after school or between classes. There will be no early distribution of books prior to 7th hour on Friday. Only the student whose name is on the order will be able to pick up the order — in other words, no picking up yearbooks for friends. 

Mustangs! Your Carnival is tomorrow! Get ready to play some exciting carnival games, including Plinko, lucky duck, mini golf, and raffle! MAKE SURE TO BRING CASH WITH YOU!!! It’s $10 to get in, AND you can bring extra $$ to get tickets to play fun, exciting games. So come step up and win a prize!
