If you want to make some more money in the new year, this is a perfect and easy way to do so! Find out more at the Credit Union in front of Ma's room, open at lunch!
BNR Celebration during STARS (12/14/2023 - 12/18/2023)
On Monday, all Business and Natural Resource Academy STARS classes will go directly to the auditorium for your Quarterly Celebration. Please sit in your assigned seat by looking for the name tags of your STARS teacher. Teachers will be taking attendance. We will be celebrating students with perfect attendance and playing some holiday games.
Senior Song Practice (12/15/2023 - 12/21/2023)
Heads up Seniors! Your first song practice is the first day back to school on Monday, January 8th, 2024. Song Practice is at the Pool during First Recess and STARS every Monday until graduation. You will have five minutes after the end of Period 2 to report to the pool. Attendance will be taken. The majority of your commencement tickets will be earned by attendance. Do not be late. During Winter Break, listen and learn the class song as much as possible. Your class song is: Wanted to Be by Huipu Music. Any questions? Please contact the commencement committee or Mrs. Arbles.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT VIKINGS
Registration Forms (12/8/23-12/14/23)
Students in Grades 9 through 11, if you still have your colored registration forms, please turn th em in to a trusted teacher, or to the front office as soon as possible. Remember, if you fail to turn in your registration form, you throw away your chance to choose your own classes for next year! Instead, your classes will be selected for you. Please submit all forms as soon as possible to avoid that from happening.
KVIKS will be back after these messages.
Senior Updates (12/11/2023-12/14/2023)
Listen up, Seniors - this announcement is for you.
As you all should be well aware, your PTP was due at the end of your Junior year, and less than half of you met that deadline. The rest of you were given until last week Friday, December 8th to complete it, and about 75 of you are STILL not done. Because completion of the PTP is a State of Hawaii Graduation Requirement, those of you who are not done, are not on track to graduate. I will be notifying your parents of your status in January.
Your Commencement Song Practices will begin during STARS in January when we return from Winter Break. Those of you who are not done with your PTPs at that time, will not be allowed to attend Song Practices, and will lose out on earning Commencement Tickets. We do not want anyone to be in this situation, so PLEASE work on it and get it done.
If you have any questions at all about the PTP, please see me in N-103 during recess, lunch, or after school. Thank you.
[OUTRO] Thank you for watching! Find more announcements and watch the bulletin again at hilohigh.org or download the mobile app. Follow @hilohighschool on Instagram and Facebook. This concludes today’s announcements. Have a great day Vikings!
