Daily Bulletin | Tuesday
White Day
Good morning from the Student Life Office — This announcement is for everyone who drives to school. The speed limit on campus is 10 miles per hour. If you are going above that speed, please know that you are putting other people on campus at risk. We all know that speed is the number one cause of car accidents, because it reduces the driver’s reaction time. People may cross in front of you or back out in front of you and if you are going too fast, it could end with an injury or an accident with another car. We need a safe campus, including the parking lots and the roads on campus. Please watch your speed.
Ms. Greenstone’s C Block class is reminded to take first lunch today and then report to Ranger 110.
If you want to be considered for free Driver’s Education through the Guidance Office for next year, the sign-ups close this Friday. If you do not sign up by this Friday, you will be automatically at the end of the waitlist. Please see your guidance counselor to sign up.
