Welcome back! It is going to be a great year.

I want to remind everyone of the policy regarding attending the college representatives’ visits. If you are going to miss a class – you must request this from your teacher at least 24 hours prior. Your teacher will have the final say as to your ability to attend. It is up to you, the student, to make this be a win-win situation. The college reps schedule is posted with plenty of time for you to make a decision as to attending. Offer to work ahead or come to an understanding with this teacher long before the day of the visit.
