After reading our Unity Pledge, reflect on the following questions in Advisory:
1- Which action from the pledge resonates most with you today, and why?
2-How do your everyday interactions, both positive and negative, contribute to or detract from our unity as a community?

Consider each of the six actions in the pledge as you reflect on and respond to this question.

We will all gather in the CPAC for Student Life today for our Unity Walk 2024

Today is our first OFFICE HOURS from 12:55- 1:40. Please use the map below to decide what classroom or study space you should go to and get some help or just get some work done.  ALL students must be in a designated space-  no roaming the halls or sitting in the hallways.  ONLY Seniors in the Commons. This is not a time to be in Advisory- your Advisors need to be available to their students.  If you have any questions or are confused, please ask your Advisor or your Grade-Level Dean. Let’s use our time wisely!
