Announcements
Students, Let's finish Teacher Appreciation Week with some fun. Tomorrow, dress as your favorite teacher!
Sports physicals will be held in the MPR from 8:30-11:00AM on Thursday May 26. Eligible students are those who will be in grades 5-12 next Fall and plan to participate in a school sport. If you would like your student to participate, the forms are located on the table outside the high school office. The forms must be completed and signed by a parent/guardian and returned to school with a check to Carle for $15. Students will not be seen by our providers unless the physical form is complete and signed. Packets are available on the table outside the office or can be printed here: https://5il.co/19vty
Seniors will turn in their Chromebooks when they turn in their Senior Clearance Forms (the last day they are in school). Be sure you have your charger and stylus with it. Replacement fees are $25/charger - $30/stylus if they are missing.
Any senior who wants to participate in the senior versus staff softball game for the school picnic, they may sign up with Max or Cronk.
If anyone wants to participate in the cornhole tournament, partners may also sign up with Max or Cronk.
Do you have pictures of Prom, spring sports or anything else that would be great in the yearbook? You can upload them at https://yb360.walsworthyearbooks.com/login/webBannerRedirect.html?snap=1-5H-978&schoolstore=
