MISCELLANEOUS
Exclusion Policy: Did you know that the exclusion policy has been updated this year? Do you remember….we covered that when we went through the Student Planner during the first few days of school! Make sure you review it, as it now applies to the full year. It’s on page 10 of the planner, and also on the school website. And remember, there are no appeals! So, stay off exclusion. We all want to attend that dance at the end of the year. And since the truancy notices count period attendance (not the full day), you may get your third truancy notice before you realize how many times you’ve cut class!

Hallways at Lunch: Students, the 60s and 70s hallways are closed during lunch time. Because of disruption to instruction and learning, students are requested to not use the hallways during lunch. Please make sure you exit the hallways as quickly as possible and do not use the 60s and 70s hallways during lunch. The 80s hallway is open every day if you would like to go to the other side!

From wikipedia:
Alfred Dreyfus (9 October 1859 – 12 July 1935) was a French artillery officer of Jewish background whose trial and conviction in 1894 on charges of treason became one of the most tense political dramas in modern French and European history. Known today as the Dreyfus Affair, the incident eventually ended with Dreyfus's complete exoneration.

Born in Mulhouse (Mülhausen) in Alsace, Dreyfus was the youngest of nine children born to Raphael and Jeannette Dreyfus (née Libmann). Raphael Dreyfus was a prosperous, self-made, Jewish textile manufacturer who had started as a peddler. The family moved to Paris from Alsace after the Franco-Prussian War, when in 1871 Alsace-Lorraine was annexed by the German Empire. The Dreyfus family had long been established in the area that traditionally had been German-speaking, and Raphael spoke Yiddish and conducted business affairs in the German language. The first language of most of Alfred's elder brothers and sisters was German or one of the Alsatian dialects. Alfred and his brother were the only children to receive a fully French education.
