Homecoming week is October 2nd-6th with our dance on Saturday, October 7th from 8-11pm. Our ASB is planning some fun activities for that week including dress-up days, lunch time games, and evening activities. Students should make sure to take care of their assignments that are on the ICU list. It is a requirement to have all assignments off of the ICU list. We have tutoring opportunities, before school, after school and at lunch to help you get those done. Tickets will be sold at lunch time during Homecoming week and there will be no re-entry once a student leaves the dance.
