I hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day Weekend!
 
I will be sending home a calendar next Friday of upcoming dates, guidelines, etc for seniors this year.
 
Also Seniors will be committing to a senior trip location ton September 6th in class, so that Walking Tree and I can work together to open up registration, finalize prices, etc.  If you and your family want time to investigate the possible destinations, let me know and I am happy to send the link. 
 
Please remind seniors of the importance of attending on Friday afternoons, as we cover a lot of information and provide a lot of support during that time.  Their seminar class starts at 1 PM.

Finally, I posted a link for a student climate survey in their Advocacy Teams,  even though they are only here on Friday afternoons, senior opinions matter.  Please let me know if your student does not have access.
 
Feel free to always reach out if you have questions about what to expect Senior Year, I know as a parent there is a lot going on.
