Blue 1 Day

Starting today we will be having a new schedule for the Spark Lunch period. We are hoping it will reduce any confusion in the long run. SPARK will not rotate by Blue and Gold days but rather by days of the week. Monday through Wednesday you will be going to your SPARK group as you have been doing on Blue days. On Every Thursday we will be having Pirate Specials. You will be going to the same Pirate Special you have been going to since the start of the year only now it will be on Thursdays. On Every Friday we will be having RTI or academic intervention. You should receive an email tomorrow on where you need to report. Students who are told to go to a class/Teacher for help will be eating second lunch at the 12:03 bell. Students that are all caught up and doing well in their classes will be told to go to the gym. In the gym we will be conducting a year long fun competition for the Captain's Cup. More information about that will be coming to the groups on Friday. Students who are told to go to the gym will be eating first lunch. If necessary we will be splitting first lunch into two shorter lunches to accommodate the crowd. If we do split the first lunch, 7-9 will eat the first part of first lunch and 10-12 will eat the second part of first lunch. The other group will be in the gym.   If you were wondering what will happen to Pirate Preps, we will be replacing Pirate Specials with Pirate Preps during quarter 2 and 3 and we will just follow the new SPARK schedule. Your advisor will be going over this new SPARK schedule with you at Advisory time today.

Good luck to our High School Girls Soccer team as they take on Central at Home tonight.

And Good luck to the High School Field Hockey Team in their home contest against FA tonight as well.

Come on out and support these girls on what is going to be a fine Fall afternoon.

Gold 2 Day


Middle School Students Starting tomorrow you will be seeing a change in your period 3 schedule. Rather than having a different class for each UA you will see that you only have two UA classes now. One on gold days and one on blue days. Just follow that new schedule for the rest of the semester and then at the half year point you will switch to the other two UA classes. If you are a band student you will have band only on one of the blue days and you will now have PE on the other day. This may be confusing for a while but we will get it eventually.

Good luck to the middle school soccer teams tonight!
