Morning Message from Principal Wulf:
Good Morning Clippers,
As a school we have engaged in ongoing conversations around the addictive nature of cell phones and social media. Our cell phone policy aims to limit your use of cell phones; however, I recognize how the devices you use during instructional time can also lead to temptations with certain apps or media sites. Last night I sent a message home to your families to let them know of restrictions that will be put in place to our network after the vacation. I have forwarded this message to you as well so please take time to view it at your convenience.
Last, if you are parking on Summit, do not park in the area that says 1-hour parking.
Tonight is a big night for our athletics program so good luck to all of our teams playing. Also I'd like to shout out the red cross club. They continue to move forward with their mission and Monday they were featured on a WBZ news segment. Also congratulations to the Real World Design Team and Mock Trial Teams on their tournament accomplishments. Last and not least, be sure to see the Go Clippers message for all of the school records that continue to get broken and re-broken by our track athletes.
