Principal’s Report
|
· Busy wrapping up for the end of the school year · Students are well aware of the “predator” incident at the school and are staying in groups. There was a report that someone has taken a plate number of the car and it is now being checked by the proper authorities. There is now increased police presence at the school premises. No one has been caught yet. · At 2AM, Friday, May 8, 4 people pranked the school and tagged themselves as Class of 09 seniors. The images caught on tape were unrecognizable because the lighting was poor; the incident happened in the early morning. Damage to this incident cost $4,000. A reward is up for leads. · The Front Office will have a different look next year because of the recent changes in staffing.
