Lockdown Drill We will have our first lockdown drill THIS MORNING, Sunday, December 8th at 9:15. During the drill, we expect you to closely follow your teachers instructions. If you are in a classroom during the drill, you will be seated on the floor with your back to the wall as far from doors and windows as possible. If you are coming from PE, you will be escorted to locker rooms with a teacher. If you are in the Library, you will follow the Librarians instructions. If you are on Flex and are in the Student Lounge, you will go with Ms. Mona to the Computer Lab. If you are on Flex in the areas outside in the front of the school, you will come into the office to be ushered to one of the Science labs or you will go into the Theater and Dance room. You will stay in those areas until Mr. Rutherford makes the all clear announcement. We want thi s drill to go as smoothly as possible, and we appreciate your full cooperation. Mr. Purpura Exam Information Exam schedules, examination seating charts and conflict exam schedules are posted in the stairwell lobby of the HS building, just outside of the counselors offices.

DNA A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives, wheres the incentive to put things right? DNA is a poignant and, sometimes, hilarious tale with a very dark heart. Mr. Sullivan
