Don't forget to pick up your Diploma! Ms. Cawthra plans to be in the school office between 8 am and 2 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. You can stop by during those hours to pick up your diploma.  The building is still locked, so when you arrive at the front door, call 253-298-3805 to get access. Recommendation: call the office before coming to verify staff availability (253-298-3800, option 5). Remember, all fines must be paid or items returned to pick up your diploma.
