HELLO SPARTAN FAMILIES!
This will be the second to last Newsletter as we are quickly coming to a close of the 2023-2024 school year at Orcutt Academy High School. This year’s yearbooks are now being distributed. Mr. McReynolds and the yearbook students in this year’s class have worked very hard to put together an outstanding product. The yearbook does a great job of covering our school and the many accomplishments that happened this year at Orcutt Academy. In fact, our yearbook program has won several honors and recognitions for their work. Mr. McReynolds and his student team worked hard to make a great yearbook! If you have any questions about the yearbook or would like to still purchase one, please contact Mr. McReynolds in Room 9.
REMINDER: Starting on May 31, 2024, all students in grades 9-11 will be taking their finals for all of their classes and have a special finals minimum day schedules to reflect this purpose. We ask that you do not pull students from finals and work any appointments around this schedule so they do not need to make them up or miss them. Thank you in advance for honoring this expectation that we set for our students.
