December 15, 2005

 
General Announcements
 
Attention, Warriors!  Beginning Thursday, December 15, 2005, you may make an appointment with your counselor in the guidance office to request a schedule change.  Changes to request a different teacher WILL NOT be granted.    Changes may be considered for the following reasons only:
  1. Academic Misplacement – for example, you are in Algebra currently and are signed up for Calculus next semester

  2. Conflicting Classes – you are signed up for two classes that meet at the same time

  3. Under Hours – your are enrolled in less than 22 hours for semester 2

Hey Arapahoe!  Film Club wants the movies of all you aspiring film makers out there for a Student Film Festival.  The due date won't be until March, but Winter Break is a perfect time to work on those movies.  Just keep them under an hour and appropriate for school.  See you next semester.

A last minute opportunity for seniors:  The Greg Buckner Foundation is offering an opportunity to be included in Buckner’s All Star Team.  Get free Nuggets game tickets, scholarships, summer basketball camps and more.  Come to the Post Grad Center before end of semester to get your application.”

A couple of things to keep in mind, Warriors, as you prepare for final exams starting this Friday. . .  First, appropriate dress is expected during all of finals week.  If you arrive at school in PJ’s, flannel pants, slippers, or any other “sleepwear,” you will be sent home to change and risk missing your final.   Secondly, final exams are an expectation in every class.  You will not be allowed to leave early from any final, so plan accordingly and bring a book or other material to study should you finish early.  Additionally, all academic halls will be closed once the final exam period has started, so if you need to meet with a teacher or go to the library, you must arrive there PRIOR to the tardy bell.  The cafeteria will remain open for you to have a place to wait and study.  GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINAL EXAMS!
 
PSAT TEST RESULTS ARE IN!  SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS THAT TOOK THE PSAT TEST CAN PICK UP RESULTS IN THE GUDIANCE OFFICE.
 
This announcement is for all 17 and 18 year old young men.  If you have not registered with the Selective Service, this is the time to do it.  Federal law requires all men living in the US to register within a month of their 18th birthday. Registering keeps you eligible for college loans, job training, government jobs and driver’s license renewal in most states.  You can get a Selective Service registration card at your local post office or register online at www.sss.gov.  Mrs. Bresloff in the Guidance Office also has more information.  So, be sure to register for Selective Service as soon as you can. Your future depends on it.
