As a reminder, the Upper School grades 9-12 is a closed campus.  Underclassmen must attend all classes, this includes study halls and PRTs. These classes all count toward the state’s minimum requirements.  If your student is not a senior, please note that they are not to use PRT as a late arrival or early release. The privileges of open campus, late arrival, and early dismissal belong to seniors only.  

SOS Volunteer Fair Was A Huge Success!

There were hundreds of sign-ups for our 33 Student Organized Service teams.  New groups for 2018-19 include:  Letters Abroad (on line reading to children in China), The Healing Center (sort donations for families in need), and Armleder Lacrosse (teach skills and leadership to kids).  SOS has groups that serve children, elderly, homeless, soldiers, and more.  Our teams get students involved in direct and indirect service opportunities.  It's life-changing and has measureable impact for all involved!  Students can still sign up to participate in the SOS room.
