Just to emphasise what I am sure most of you already are well aware of, a big change this year is that we will no longer regularly have classes on the Ninth Grade Campus. On their respective Red or Green day, they class will be at our classroom on the main campus. They will take a shuttle to the Ninth Grade Campus after class to be there in time for their second period class.
