Our Winter Formal is coming up on Saturday, January 25th. At the request of our students through their ASB representatives, we have decided that this year's dance will be formal rather than semi-formal. The guidelines for a formal event can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook, the Student Agenda, and on the dance contract. Students must adhere to the dress code in order to be admitted to a dance. If a student has concerns about the appropriateness of their attire they can submit a picture of themself wearing the outfit to the Deans Office for approval prior to the event. To view the formal dress code, Click Here.

If your student has not had a flu shot yet, it's not too late. Typically the flu season peaks in January and February. Alternatives to traditional injections include a nasal spray vaccine or an intradermal shot, which uses a smaller needle. And new this year, younger children can get a quadrivalent flu vaccine which protects against four strains. For more information go to: www.flu.gov. Have a safe and healthy Christmas season!
