Textbook Return Procedures: 

Students need to bring their textbook to the final exam for that class.  They must hand the textbook directly to the proctor for their exam.  If a student forgets his textbook on the day of the exam, he/she must bring the textbook directly to their teacher—NO EXCEPTIONS.  Students may not leave a textbook with Patty or with any other school employee other than that actual teacher of that course.  Please be aware that students will not receive their final report card if textbooks are not turned in.  If a textbook is lost, the book must be paid for before the final report card will be mailed.

Come to New Orleans!  Well, at least you’ll feel like you are there.  Great Cajun food and drinks; wonderful company to celebrate and support the new campus!  Your invitation was in the mail this week (Think: Purple) so that’s where you’ll find the details or attached here.    Show your support for Desert and have fun doing it!  Timed perfectly so that your middle schooler can attend movie night while you are “in New Orleans!” RSVP to krice@desertacademy.org or call Kay Rice at 992-8284 ext 23.
