Good Friday Procedures for 4/18/2014
 

Whenever Good Friday is not on spring break, we have trouble getting the notes into PPO and
the notes to the students before they leave for services so we will use the same procedure as last year.
* On Tuesday, 4/15, Wednesday, 4/16, or Thursday, 4/17, students should bring their
notes to their homeroom teacher if they intend to check out on Friday, 4/18/2014.
* Homeroom teachers collect the notes each day and put them in the yellow envelope
inside your homeroom folder.

* Kim and Jill in PPO will write the dismissal notes for the students.
* On Friday... The dismissal notes will be in the envelope so you can hand them out in
homeroom. 

Please emphasize to the students there will be no phone check outs on Friday for services.

Health and Personal Fitness will be available to all students for initial credit.
