Reminders:

• The gym will be open for all students, after school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for basketball training.
• Staff is noticing more bikes not being locked properly, or at all, in some cases. We have three bike racks where all bikes need to be secured. Please do not lock or leave bikes in other areas of campus - this increases the possibility of bikes being stolen! Oh, and wear your helmet, because a)  It the law and  b) Your brain will be protected! Thanks much!
• Remember that phones need to be away during passing periods and at lunch. In classes, teachers will let you know whether you can use them. If you need to communicate with home or parents, come to either the DVJH or Emerson office. The goal is to use technology as a tool when necessary, and to not let it run your life. Talk to human beings during the school day. 

• ASAP (after school tutoring program) happens after school every day Monday through Thursday in the library, 3:30 - 5:00pm! Come get help with math, get organized, or finish that HW before you go home or to practice!
• We hope you are ready to see some big time talent! Our annual talent show will be Friday, March 22nd! 

Attention Parents:

• Please remember these important safety guidelines when dropping off and picking up students:
  • The handicap parking spots are reserved for those cars displaying handicap placards.  Please do not utilize those spots to wait for your child after school.  
  • When dropping off your students, please remind them to exit the car on the passenger side so they, and the car door, are not at risk of being hit.
  • In our parking lot, there is no waiting or parking on red curbs, or behind parked cars.  There are plenty of parking spaces if there is no room on a non-red curb.
  • The bus-loading zone is NOT a waiting area - even if there is no bus.  Please do not wait to pick up students in the bus-loading zone - it is reserved for busses that may need it at any time.
  • Be extra attentive, patient and alert while driving, as students continue to walk and ride bikes to and from school.  Kindly follow all posted speed limits around campus.  It is better to be late to school than to be in an accident!
