LIBRARY MESSAGE FOR SENIORS: If you currently have a book, keyboard, calculator, textbook, etc. checked out from the library, please make sure you have a plan to get those back to us BEFORE it gets close to graduation. If you have items checked out from last year, you should be getting Schoology messages from Mrs. Castiglia – please don’t ignore them! You can bring items to door 1 if you are remote or to the book drop by the library if you are here in the building. Either way, we need you to start thinking about getting your materials back to us (especially if you have had them for a while). If you are still using your calculator, keyboard or textbook, please plan to return them before the end of the school year.
