ATTENTION! DRUG TESTING ORIENTATION
Students in 7th-12th grades - A Drug testing Orientation is scheduled for July 14th at 6:30 in the high school cafeteria. Drug testing consent forms will be passed out so they can be completed and signed by both the parent and student and returned as you leave the orientation.

It is important that you are tested during the scheduled test dates, so that you are eligible to participate when school activities begin.
The orientation is for ALL students planning to participate in extra-curricular activities and for ALL students that drive to school. Students may not practice or participate without being tested. Students will not be tested if the consent form is not filled out completely.
