[Mr Duke RAGL Recorded 01/10/25]

 

Senior PTP Announcement (1/13/25-1/14/25) FRIAS TO FILM 

My message today is for the senior class, but it is good information for all Vikings to pay attention to for the future. You will be receiving your Semester 1 report cards today in STARS, and I hope you are all earning grades that put you on track for graduation. Please take a specific look at the grade for your Personal Transition Plan, or PTP. If you have a U grade for PTP, that means you still have not completed this graduation requirement and are not on track to graduate. Your senior song practices begin in 2 weeks on January 27th, and if you are not done with your PTP, you will not be allowed to attend Song Practice. Not attending Song Practice means you are losing out on earning Commencement Tickets for your family. So - the 30 of you who have not finished your PTP yet have 2 weeks to see me in N-103 and complete it. I hope to see you all in my office soon, so we can go over what you are missing and get it done!
