3) Just a reminder…Lanyards and ID’s are required to be worn by all students and staff. If you don’t have your lanyard and ID, you will need to get a sticker from your Success Time teacher. At this time, we have given nearly every student 3 IDs. If you can’t find any of them, you can purchase a lanyard=$2 and an ID=$3 or you can get a set for 15 Hillsbills (5-for a lanyard / 10-for an ID) Also, you need to have your lanyard and ID on if you want to wear your hood up or a hat. Don’t be surprised if teachers address this with you if you are not following the expectations.

Sometimes people may tell you it will be too hard. You may decide you want to give up. Don’t listen to people who say mean things about your dreams and don‘t give up on something you really want to do. Even if you don’t do it the first time just keep trying. You can do it!
