Rotating schedule Less than 70 in a class = required to attend Attendance Dress Code Things to Know from a current 9 th graders perspective: Dont be intimidated by the size of the school. It might take a day or two but you will get it. If you are organized you will do well. Know where your friends are in the morning and walk with your class to lunch. You will not be hurt by the upperclassmen. Second chance breakfast is your best friend. The Pop Tarts are a lifesaver. Get involved after school to meet people older than you and have a variety of friends. Carrying your book bag versus using the locker is so much better!
