ATTENTION STUDENTS: HAVEN´T TAKEN THE MATH EXAM YET?

If you have not taken the accumulative exam for 4th period, you need to come to school at 6:30 a.m. or to stay after classes at 2:40 p.m. before this Friday June 12th.

If you decide to stay after school, you need to bring a letter of authorization signed by your parents for the transportation personnel to separate a chair for you in the bus.

Come this week, so you will not have to come during vacations.

Thanks,
