Dear Justice Families,
As we approach the end of the school year, please be sure that your student has completed all of his/her assignments. Contact your student's teacher(s) with any questions or concerns. Also, please remind your student to bring his/her school issued laptop to school. We are now in the process of collecting all school issued devices.
Dismissal procedures are somewhat different in the next two weeks for students. The week of June 3rd is the last week of school for seniors. Below is a snapshot of next week's senior exams and graduation activities. For the underclassmen, the week of June 3rd is business as usual and dismissal will be at the regular time of 2:55 PM on Monday through Thursday. However, Friday, June 7th, is an early release day and all students will be dismissed at 11:00 AM.
