Students doing regular testing will be dismissed at 11:00 a.m. Afternoon buses will follow the late bus drop off schedule. It is important that all students come to school ready to test. Every student will need their laptop to test, and we encourage them to have them fully charged when they arrive to school. We encourage all students to get a good night's sleep, eat breakfast, and arrive to school on time with a positive mindset. There will be additional buses at 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. for those students who receive extra time. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
12th graders will be working on their competencies and Capstone Project, both graduation requirements.

Any senior absent will accrue attendance points for the day.
