MAD WEEK: Freshmen! Please remember to watch the PowerPoint presentation on MAD Week during Advisory today. The presentation contains important information about this year’s Make A Difference Week.

Teachers: The PowerPoint presentation can be found in the Advisory Folder; it is entitled “Freshmen MAD Week Video”. Please have all freshman students watch this!

GRADUATING SENIORS: If you don’t have a copy of your birth certificate in your school file, your diploma will be printed as is shown in Infinite Campus. A diploma is a legal document and your name must be the same as the birth certificate. If the diploma is printed incorrectly, Herff Jones will charge a fee to print a corrected one. If you would like to confirm that you have one, please come to Mr. Wells’ office and check with Kerry Ficklin.

SENIOR YEARBOOK PICTURES: Didn’t get your senior portrait in to the yearbook? You still have time! Submit your picture before the end of October, and you can still get in! There will be a $25 late fee, but hey, having your picture in your SENIOR yearbook is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so do it! Also, don’t forget to remind mom or dad about creating a senior dedication (or baby ad) for you. The next deadline is Monday, October 17. The final deadline is November 1. For more info, check out the yearbook page on the HHS website.
