Announcements
Norman
As you know, on Tuesday, we will be showing a free screening of Norman the movie. Norman, starring Dan Byrd, Emily Van Camp, and Richard Jenkins, is about high school loner Norman Long, a self-aware and darkly funny teen who’s just trying to handle his daily existence. In the wake of his mother’s sudden death, Norman must now also deal with the reality that his father is starting to lose his battle with stomach cancer. Although this movie shows his response to these particular challenges, it also shows some of the daily challenges that high school students face; it is serious yet also includes humor. Norman is rated R due to strong language, though its storyline is a clear indicator that it was targeted to an audience of high school students. Because we want to make this movie accessible to all high school students, we will forego permission slips for this event.
Art Highlight of the Week
Junior 2D Design student Brieanna McLellan's interpretation of Op Art shown here began with some research into the mid-century art genre. She meticulously designed a single panel with a fine-point black marker and Prismacolor pencil then duplicated and pieced it together to show her understanding of achieving an optical illusion, where color and shape appear to move and glow on her background.
Lunch Charges
The maximum amount a student can charge for lunches is $15.00 (Policy is on our website--EFDA). The district would appreciate the prompt payments of any negative balances as soon as possible. Letters will be sent out from the district to the parents of students that have accumulated lunch charges.
We have an online payment system, MySchoolBucks.com. There is info on our website about this. If the
parent needs the student's LASID number, they can call Keri Dubois at 508-839-7898.
