A couple of things to keep in mind, Warriors, as you prepare for final exams starting today. . .  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!

A Final Message regarding the Supreme Court visit this week. We thought that the seniors and juniors who attended the hearings should know about some of the reactions we have received about the day. The justices have said that the questions asked of them, both at the hearings and at lunch, were the most impressive series of questions they have had from high school students. Their depth and sophistication was indeed impressive.
We want to thank the students who attended for their behavior and their willingness to learn about the cases so that the conversations were so good.
Also thanks to the faculty and staff for the adjustments they made in their schedules and room assignments and for the help with moving students and all of the other little things that needed to be done. It was a great day for Arapahoe.
