PARENTS AND STUDENTS:

Thank you for your continued patience with our parking situation. We would like to remind you that parking is restricted to marked parking stalls only.  We have been notified, by the police department, that cars that are parking in areas that are not designated for parking will receive a citation.  This includes, but is not limited to, handicap parking without a permit, parking on curbs and against the eastern parking lot border.  Please avoid receiving a citation by only parking in designated parking stalls.

Saturday University: All students will be receiving an email inviting you to attend any one of the next 5 Saturday University programs. Take a minute to consider attending Saturday University. This week we will have a class dedicated to studying for finals, writing college scholarship essays, and learning more about Paranormal Activity. Attending Saturday University doesn't mean you're in trouble... just the opposite. It's designed to help you succeed. Come check it out.
