Conference Night

Parents can request a conference at any time. Please email the teacher or call the main office to make the request. If you would like a conference on Conference Night--Thursday, March 27, please call or contact the teacher as soon as possible.

 

Cell Phones

Parents, we need your help with a cell phone issue. It seems that the students are taking their phones out at all times during the school day.

 

Cell phones are allowed in the building,  but must be turned off until the end of the day when we dismiss. If students text anyone and the texts are responded to, that will result in the phone being taken.  

  • 1st offense - The phone will be given back at the end of the day.
  • 2nd offense - The parent or guardian must sign for the phone.
  • 3rd offense - Student spends a day in ISS ( In School Suspension).  

Your help with this matter is greatly appreciated.

Anything Goes concerns the madcap antics aboard the ocean liner S.S. American bound from New York to London. Nightclub singer/evangelist Reno Sweeney is on board and her pal Billy Crocker has stowed away to be near his love Hope Harcourt. Problems arise because Hope is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. This love triangle becomes more entangled with the antics of Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin. With the help of some elaborate disguises, tap-dancing sailors and good old-fashioned blackmail, Reno and Martin join forces to help Billy in his quest to win Hope's heart.
