"The high school attendance incentive program-"It's Cool to Go to School"-is back!  Any student with PERFECT attendance this year is automatically entered into the drawing for a new Nissan Versa, courtesy of the Groppetti Automotive Family.  There are two ways to achieve PERFECT attendance this year; please visit your Attendance Office for contest information.

It is our pleasure to announce the Solar Project is moving along as scheduled.  We anticipate the transition of the barrier fencing to move from the north parking lot to the central and south parking lot on 2/18/17.   Please note there will be very minimal parking available in this area.  During this phase the fencing will remain in this location until March 24, as they will also move forward with the instillation of the solar framing.  We would like to thank you for your patience thus far and as we continue with this exciting project.

We have been experiencing candy sales during school hours. The Healthy Foods Act of California doesn't allow the sale of candy/food from 12 midnight to 4pm on school premises. Basically students can only sell after 4pm. They cannot sell before school or during school. Student selling candy during school time will have consequences.


COUNSELING DEPARTMENT:
The United States Military Academy Student Orientation for West Point will be held on March 16th from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District Building in Clovis.  Cadet Christopher Rieping from Madera, CA will conduct this orientation.  It is a great opportunity for prospective students to learn about USMA from a local Cadet.  The target is 9-12th grade students.  For more information check the "Presentation Binder" in the counseling dept.
The ASVAB test will be given March 15, 2017 at 8 a.m. in B1. The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is the most widely used multiple aptitude battery in the world. If you are curious about your future career choice or interested in the military, take advantage of everything the ASVAB Career Exploration Program has to offer and sign up to test! Whether you are a planning to go to college, a vocational school, the military, OR, if you are just not sure what you want to do yet, the ASVAB Career Exploration Program can provide you with important information about your skills, abilities, and interests.
