**Students, the end of the year is a great time to thank the adults at our school for what they have done throughout the year. Please stop by the table in the courtyard to write a thank you card for any faculty or staff member. You can write as many as you like and they will be delivered next week.
**Just a reminder that this semester's exemption policy is 4 or fewer absences, no unexcused and 4 or fewer tardies. Students earned 2 additional tardies and 1 additional day because of the lock out hunger. Renaissance still follows the 3 days absence and 2 tardies.
**Students on the high honor roll for 1st semester can pick up a voucher for 2 free Cardinal baseball tickets from Mrs. Hayes in the Guidance Office.
**Seniors: Today is the last day to give Mrs. Dixon information about any scholarships you have received that will not be presented at the assembly tomorrow. Also, if you are joining the military after graduation please give that information to her.
**The senior exemption list is being updated daily for attendance and obligations. Attendance and obligations will continue to be updated through tomorrow.
**Senior Sunset is tomorrow 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 this Thursday 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 finals you need to take, not the other hours on Thursday 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.
**The seating chart for senior assembly has been shared with faculty/staff. Please escort your class over to the gym at 1:15 pm tomorrow.
**Seniors: We have 8 days till graduation!
