Notes from Mrs. L Gassman
I just wanted to give you a heads up - two weeks from today on Wednesday, September 9th, Mr. Steele and I will be taking the freshman class to Alexandria for the Freshman Impact program that we attend every year. Ms. Farrel-Poncelet passed out liability forms that each freshman student needs to return to her with parent signatures in order to attend the event. Forms must be returned to Ms. F-P by Tuesday, September 8th at the very latest.
The event runs from 8:00-3:00 PM and we are not allowed to leave early, therefore, Kelly and Kaylee will be late for volleyball practice that day and freshman boys who are out for football will either be late for practice or not able to attend that day depending on our return to school time, which I estimate to be around 3:45 PM.

Please pay close attention to these deadlines. It is the student's responsibility to know the important dates and requirements for their dual credit courses.

I am currently out on maternity leave but am periodically checking my email. Any questions regarding coursework or course materials must be sent by the student to their college professor.
I am looking forward to a great year and am excited to support our students as they take advantage of these college-level opportunities!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Logan Gassman
