FINES:

• Any residual fines for textbooks, Chromebooks, athletic equipment will interfere with your ability to acquire your cap and gown and graduation.  

• Current textbooks for this term should be returned directly to your teacher who assigned it to you to prevent any new fines. 

• Previous Textbooks/books etc.  that you have not returned before the current semester will show in your student portal as a fine or will soon convert into an outstanding fine.  Any and all fines will keep you from receiving a cap and gown.  It is your responsibility to return all items you are responsible for or pay the fine by Tuesday, May 23rd.  See Ms. Gallardo in the library to return any textbooks, novels, library books, etc. by 5/23. 

• Athletic Equipment Fines:  All equipment returns or fines must be resolved by Tuesday, May 23rd. Don’t delay, see Coach Mittry in his office or it will keep you from receiving your cap and gown.
