Good afternoon Sailors!

May 8th Wednesday - No Late Start
May 10th Friday - Sailor PRIDE Assembly Meeting Period Schedule
Sailor Families-
All of our Mona Shores High School students and staff handled this surprise early dismissal impressively. From staying put while all the lights were out to dismissing in a safe and orderly way they certainly showed their Sailor Pride today.
Huge thank you to our Transportation Team for their incredibly quick response. In less than 30 minutes our drivers were contacted, reported to the bus garage, did their pre-trip checks, and were at the high school to get kids home. Thank you to Transportation Director Dave Muskovin for leading this effort.
Thank you to our high school families for their quick response in picking up kids today. My apologies if communication did not get to you as it should have. We have learned that there was a PowerSchool issue with some emails that has since been corrected.
Thank you all for understanding the herculean community effort it takes to plan and adapt to unforeseen situations like this. As always, the Sailor community stepped up and responded in an impressive way!

Senior Celebration is a time-honored tradition where parents of the Senior Class put together a fun "all-night" experience for the graduating class. The event location is a SURPRISE to students and is usually a 45-60 minute bus trip away. Students will leave directly after graduation and parents will be notified at that time of the surprise location. Senior Celebration provides not only a fun and safe experience for our students the night they graduate, it also creates great memories for years to come!
