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.

Final Exam Schedule Spring 2012

The Desert Academy Leos are hosting a school supply drive for the United Way After School Program at Aspen Community Magnet School, where the Leos have been tutoring elementary students for two years. Please help the Leos by donating your new or gently-used school and art supplies (markers, crayons, glue scissors, paper, etc.) to the children in this program. Supplies can be left in bins labeled “Leos school supply drive” in the Big Room or sent to advisors. Thank you so much for your support in making a difference in the lives of these elementary school students!

Leo Marisa Gomez (12th) has been doing community service at homeless shelters and food kitchens in Santa Fe with her mother all year. She is spearheading the Leo club’s April outreach project with her idea for “turn-away” packs for distribution at shelters that are unable to provide services/shelter when they reach capacity and/or run out of supplies.

The Leos begin their drive on April 1 for donations of gently-used backpacks, boxes of Ziploc bags (all sizes), non-perishable foods and supplies for homeless people who are turned away from shelters and may find themselves unable to access services for a couple of days. Specifically, the club is asking for donations of non-perishable foods, first aid/hygiene supplies, and outdoor supplies.

Leos will sort, package and distribute these Travelpacks to one or more shelters at the end of April. Donations can be dropped off at Desert Academy for the Desert Leos. Financial support in any amount is also welcome for the purchase of supplies.

Please see the attached document for a complete list of requested donations! Any donation, no matter how small, is hugely helpful and hugely appreciated!!
