Just like in August, the pick-up days are arranged in alphabetical order. Only students who require textbooks and/or materials will be allowed to enter the school during the pick-up days.
Teachers that require materials for their classes communicated with students this week about the books or other materials they would need for courses Quarter 2, which will begin on Oct. 26. Classes for 2nd, 4th and 6th Hours will meet during this quarter and follow the following schedule during the virtual learning period.

Associate Principal Mike Franklin said, “We will be accepting first quarter items from students Oct. 23-24. Please check with your first quarter teacher to make sure they want materials returned. In many cases, year-long classes will require that students keep their materials through the second semester.”
Students with last names beginning A-L have their pick-up/drop-off day on Oct. 23, from 2-6 p.m. For students with last names beginning M-Z, their pick-up/drop-off day is on Oct. 24, from 2-6 p.m.
The pick-up and drop-off both will take place in the Commons. Students are required to fill out the COVID-19 Self Report Form before arriving at the school building. Masks must also be worn at all times when inside the school building.
In addition to the material pick-up and drop-off, juniors are also being given the opportunity to take a free practice ACT test in the form of a self-assessment booklet. The practice ACT packet is available for pick-up during both Quarter 2 pick-up days in the Upper Commons. Juniors also received an email with instructions on how to properly take the test themselves including the correct times to set for each section. More information on the practice ACT can be found on the Lafayette A+ and Testing Coordinator’s website.
