**The first run of the semester exemption list was emailed out. It has taken a few days to build the list with attendance and obligations so if you think there is an error please stop by the Attendance Center ASAP. Remember students have to have 4 or fewer excused absences, no unexcused absences, 4 or fewer tardies, and a C or better to be exempt. If you are not on the list and think you should be, look and see if you meet the criteria. All obligations must also be cleared by Thursday, May 16th. Attendance and obligations will continue to be updated through May 16th.
**The clothing room will be closed all day today. Please do not send students.

**Senior Sunset is tonight from 6:30-8 pm at the stadium. All seniors, faculty and staff are invited to attend. We will have pizza, soda/water, chips, and games at the stadium.
**Seniors: Just a reminder that senior finals are tomorrow, hours 4-6 and Friday, earlybird and hours 1-3. All seniors are required to take finals unless on the exemption list. If on the exemption list, you only need to take a final for a class if you’re failing. Also, seniors only need to come for the finals you need to take, not the other hours tomorrow and Friday. If you need to ride the bus and have to come all day you are to report to the CCC during non-final hours. Senior computers must also be checked in this week. If a senior gets to keep their computer, they must still at least check it in to have the school information taken off the computer, so at some point this week all seniors need to bring their computer to the CCC. An informational email on this was sent yesterday by Mr. Mattix-Wand.
**The seating chart for senior assembly has been shared with faculty/staff.
**Seniors: We have 7 days till graduation!
