    School Updates

    • Final Exam Schedule

      • Wednesday, 6/4/25 - Third Block Exams
      • Thursday, 6/5/25 - Fourth Block Exams
      • Friday, 6/6/25 - Make-up Exams

      Students should only report to school on days that they are scheduled to test. The other days will not be counted as absences for students.

      Bus transportation will be provided for all students who need it, but will likely be delayed until approximately the regular end of the school day for CATA at 3:45pm.  This is due to the buses still needing to conduct elementary school runs prior to coming to CATA. Keep in mind that most testing sessions will likely end at or before 1:30pm each day. Students with their own transportation will be permitted to leave at the conclusion of the testing session for their individual class. This includes student drivers who may exit directly to the student lot, and those who will be picked up by a parent or ride with someone else. These students should give their test administrators a parent note indicating they will leave early and how they will get home. They will then be issued a dismissal slip to show when they are leaving after testing concludes. All students must turn in Chromebooks and chargers before leaving.
