SUMMER SCHOOL IS COMING JUNE 1

Summer School for the '09 Summer will begin June 1 and conclude June 26 for the regular session.  It begins at 8AM and concludes at 2:30PM Monday
through Friday during this time frame.  Breakfast is served from 7:30-8 daily as is lunch during the time periods appropriate as assigned for the
grade levels.  All meals are free of charge so long as the Federal Government program continues to fund this as we are told it will.
Students may attend Summer School '09 for enrichment purposes as well as students that may be mandatory.  Enjoyable field trips to the Dexter Pool
as well as attendance prizes are offered as incentives for kids to attend.  Students in enrichment classes will be doing a variety of hands on
projects including "learning by doing" of some various community projects to which core academics can be applied.  HS students may also attend
Summer School PE classes to obtain credits for HS to allow them more freedom with scheduling in the future.  Mandatory academic attendance
students will be involved in an intensive core academic focus in their area(s) of weakness for either HS credit or grade level promotion.  Bus
transportation is provided from designated pick up points in the district.  Driver's Education will also be offered in July with dates and times
announced soon.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call 568-4283.

GRADUATION PRACTICE

Graduation practice will take place on Friday, May 13th beginning at 9:00am. All graduating seniors need to report to the gym by 9:00am. These seniors need to be dressed in "graduation ceremony" attire and have their cap & gown pressed and ready to be worn. Practice will take place from 9:00am - 11:30am, although it may end early if practice goes well. Following practice, seniors will be released for lunch until 1:15pm. All seniors need to report back to the gym at 1:15 for the Class Honors Assembly.

Graduation will take place on Sunday, May 15th starting promptly at 4:00pm. The doors will be open an hour and a half early so students and parents can have pictures made. Mrs. Julie Dodd will be on hand to take pictures before the graduation ceremony, and she will be taking pictures of seniors as they receive their diplomas on stage.

SUMMER SCHOOL: DRIVER'S EDUCATION AND PE

There is a sign up form on the high school office window for any student who wants to take driver's ed this summer. All interested students need to sign up by 8:00am Tuesday morning, May 12th. There will be an informational meeting Wednesday, May 13th, at 11:00am in the high school gym.

Additionally, this summer we will be offering High School Physical Education (Lifetime Sports) for credit. Any student who needs a PE credit (all freshman, especially) can take this summer course and receive 1 PE credit. At this time only 1 credit is needed for graduation, and taking this course would allow students more flexibility in scheduling other elective courses.

A summer school form is available in the office for all interested students.
There is also a sign up form on the high school office window.
