Attendance matters!
Every day in school counts. Consistent attendance builds good habits, strengthens learning, and sets students up for success—both in and out of the classroom. Let’s work together to keep our kids on track. #EveryDayCounts #AttendanceMatters

Last call for a representative from the class of 1976 and the class of 2001 to let us know approximately how many will be attending the luncheon and who will be speaking on your class's behalf at the assembly.

Underpants drive update! Thank you to everyone who contributed for this great cause.

in Geometry, we were building thinking in our classroom by working in small groups at the whiteboards. Students were working together on applying the angle addition postulate to an advanced problem.

Yesterday, a generous couple stopped by the office with a donation of 5 boxes of hand sanitizer, just in time for the upcoming cold and flu season. Their kindness and proactive spirit will help keep our students and staff healthy during these months when germs spread so easily. We are so grateful for their generosity and for thinking ahead to support the well-being of our school community.

We regret to inform our community that we are currently unable to lower the flag to half-staff in honor of Charlie Kirk due to a mechanical issue — the pulley at the top of the flagpole is wedged and not functioning properly.

Please know that we are aware of the issue and will work to resolve it as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding and join you in remembering Charlie Kirk during this time.

NHS 9/16 Blood Drive is being managed by Madi Gardner and Roerie Knight. Blood drive managers are responsible for advertising, organizing volunteers, and helping Vitalant employees the day of the drive. They are doing a great job, and we appreciate the extra time they give to this life-saving event!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Picture retake day is on September 30th from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM in the high school library.

All students need to have their picture taken—even if you're not planning to buy school photos—because the pictures are used to make student ID or activity cards. There is no cost for just taking the picture.

If your child missed registration in July or is a new student since July 30, please make sure they get their picture taken so they can receive their ID card.

If you'd like to order school pictures, you can do so online at www.mymjthomas.com
using the event code: AZ285.

Thank you!
