Attention Juniors and Seniors- On September 18^th and 19^th Wednesday and Thursday Damonte Ranch Career Center is hosting a ZAPS PSAT/SAT test prep seminar.  Informational letters were mailed home last week detailing how to reserve your spot.  The seminar begins at 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm for both days.  The price is $89.00.  This is money well spent as you can typically raise your score anywhere from 50 to 150 points.  If you didn’t receive a letter please stop by the Career Center for information on how to register.  Walk-ins are welcomed on that Wednesday as well.

Attention students:  Got Moves? is meeting again this Friday, September 6, in the dance studio at lunch.  Even if you didn’t make it to last week’s meeting, come this week and check it out!  Ms. Scully, a professional dance instructor, will begin teaching various dance styles at this meeting.  The dance studio is located in room #136 in the ROTC hallway.  Everyone is welcome!

Attention Seniors- Please return the Infinite Campus Parent FERPA consent form that you received in your Government class to Ms. Aikin in the Career Center ASAP.  If you didn’t receive one please stop by the Career Center for a copy.
