No School

As everyone probably already knows, we do not have school tomorrow due to the extreme cold.  I'm excited about the fact that school has already been called off so that we can sleep in without setting an alarm.  Probably even more exciting is that we can stay inside where it is warm!  :-)

The bad news about tomorrow's cancellation is that the junior meetings which were scheduled for tomorrow will now be rescheduled.  I have sent e-mails to all of the families who had signed up for meetings tomorrow with alternative dates. Please check your e-mail if this impacts you.

Curriculum night has been rescheduled for Thursday night.  Unfortunately I will not be able to attend because I am taking a counseling ethics course that meets Thursday evening.  One of the nice aspects about curriculum night is that there is a great deal of flexibility in the evening with the opportunity to move through and hear different presentations that appeal to you.  If you have questions about particular classes or course sequences, this is a great night to be able to get your questions answered.  And, while you are in the building perhaps you will want to check out the Wrestling match or the Theater production in the BlackBox as both of those events will also be taking place on Thursday night.

The online registration is open.  Just a quick reminder based upon a couple of questions I received today:
- You will not need to click any buttons to "submit" your selections - they will be saved automatically as you make your selections.
- Academic prep and options are only able to be selected once even if you want it for the whole year.  This is an issue with the way the computer reads the classes, but I will be able to fix it when I review your classes.  Just make sure you let me know when we are meeting.
- During our designated meeting time, you will need to bring in your course selection sheet (with all of your teacher recommendations signed and your parent's signature) along with the printout of the courses that you requested using the Infinite Campus system (also signed by your parent).

As more questions come in over the next few days I will probably have more updates to pass along.  Don't hesitate to let me know if you come across any issues or concerns.
