From the Office of the Principal…

Dear Friends,

Amazing!  June is here and we are at the end of another school year.  I am very proud of the work we accomplished together this year and I am already looking forward to the challenges and opportunities we will address next year.  But for now, I want to share some information about what’s going to happen in the coming day

The Regents and Final Exam Schedule is included in this issue.  Be sure to note the dates and times of exams.  Regents and RCT exams are given throughout the state at the time indicated.  If a student misses the exam there is no make-up exam until its next administration in August or January.  It is absolutely imperative that students show up at the right time for their tests.  We will post specific locations for exams throughout the building as we near the exam period.  One last note, the state has become very strict regarding the use or handling of electronic devices during exams.  We will be sure to remind students of the expectations.  Your support is appreciated!

June is a very busy month for our seniors.  First, we begin with Senior Awards at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 1, in the auditorium.  Award recipients have been notified by a letter that was mailed home.  Friday, June 4, is also a big day.  We begin with the traditional Senior Breakfast followed by our annual DWI Reenactment.  Our Drivers’ Education teacher, Mr. Victor Beausigneur, coordinates this presentation. He is assisted by community agencies, including the Monroe Co. Sheriff’s Dept., Henrietta Fire Dept. and Henrietta Ambulance.  We make this presentation not to scare students, but to remind them that we care about them.  We want students to make good, safe decisions while they celebrate these last few days of high school. Driving while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol can have deadly consequences.  Following the reenactment seniors will receive their yearbooks and be dismissed at 10 a.m.  All seniors will be legally dismissed from school at 10 a.m. unless we receive written notification from a parent stating that you do not want you senior dismissed early that day.  No transportation is provided for this early dismissal, so seniors who leave at 10 a.m. need to be picked up by a parent or arrange for a ride with others.  Finally, the Senior Ball occurs on the evening of the 4^th at Locust Hilll Country Club starting at 8 p.m.

A note of caution to parents…. please remember if you are hosting a party for teenagers you can be held personally liable if underage drinking occurs.  Set your expectations and hold students accountable to them. 

A letter will be mailed home the first week in June with all the details for seniors and their families regarding Graduation on June 25.  Attendance at rehearsal for graduation is mandatory so please read the information carefully!  

Included in the five-week report that was sent to you in May was a reminder about deadlines for completing schoolwork before the end of the year.  Any work required to finish up an Incomplete (INC) from marking periods 1, 2 or 3 must be turned in before 3 p.m. on June 7.   No work for marking period four will be accepted after 3 p.m. on June 14.  I urge you to contact your child’s teacher(s) if you have questions.

So…this is the end.  Our administrators, faculty and staff members are looking forward to meeting the members of the in-coming class of 2013!  Welcome to the Senior High School!  Start off on the right foot by getting your summer reading assignments and AP assignments finished before September 8! 

Seniors: It has been wonderful working with you these past three years.  The coming weeks will be filled with relief, laughter and some tears…can’t wait to hand you your diploma and give you a hug on Friday, June 25!

Fondly,

Beth Patton
