Picture Day: District-Wide school picture day is Tuesday, August 4, from 2-7pm at Lennox Elementary School. If you are unable to attend, picture retakes will be on September 17.

JH-HS Open House: August 24 from 5-7pm. Meet your teachers, get your schedules, lockers, etc.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! August 25: The Doors open by 7am each morning. Classes begin at 8:15am. Breakfast is available from 7:45-8:15am.

Lockers: All 7th grade students will be assigned a locker. If students in grades 8-12 want a locker, they may request one from their 1st period teacher.

Construction Updates: We have a couple projects getting finished up at the JH-HS. Our parking lot has been resurfaced, the JH-HS office is getting new flooring and new office staff desks. Both projects should be completed this week.

Road Construction on Oriole Avenue: Due to road construction on Oriole Avenue, access to the JH-HS will only be available via Main Street for the first several weeks of the school year. This will affect morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups, so please plan accordingly. In order to limit the amount of traffic congestion after school, we will use some staggered release times for student drivers (3:15 HS Study Halls and Dual Credit / 3:20 HS Students /3:25 JH & Bus Riders.) This will be adjusted as needed.

Homecoming Week: Dates: September 14-18     Theme: Orioles on a Mission

              See page 3 for Student Dress Up Days.
