**Mrs. Robinson has shared the 2nd semester attendance exemption list. In order to be on this list a student must have 3 or fewer excused absences and 2 or fewer tardies. If you clear obligations and have a C or better in a class you don't have to take that final. This list has taken a lot of time to put together so there could be errors. If you think there is an error please stop by the Attendance Center. This list will also be updated for attendance daily. Also remember that if you have an A and now a B because of the student council food drive, regardless if you are on the attendance list, you are exempt from the final.
**Monday through Friday this week are normal attendance days.
All information regarding exams and finals have been shared in Google Drive with students.
Remember that students MUST take all finals unless they have an A or a B in the class or are on the exemption list. If a student is exempt because of having an A or B or on an exemption list a student can choose to take a final to improve his/her grade. All information is available to students in Google Drive.

Students and staff enjoyed a relaxing end of the semester visit with our therapy dog Maui today.
Mr. James and some of our art students went to Joe's pizza today to paint small murals on the outside patio area. Great job to all of the students and Mr. James.
