First-week reminders — from The Pulse

Take attendance in Infinite Campus in the first 10 minutes of class. Daily accuracy feeds the 20-Day Headcount.
2nd period teachers deliver each day's Universal Expectations Lesson.
No 2nd period class? Report to the main gym Monday and Tuesday to help supervise the Junior and Senior presentations starting at 10:05. Students are released at 9:55 on their day and bring their belongings.
Be at duty locations on time, and in the halls or at doors during class changes — students will need directions.
Copy codes: every machine, including the Media Center, now uses your employee number. The temporary Media Center code is retired.
Vote on School Improvement Team members and the 2026–2028 goals and plan.

Where this came from. The original Opening Week document was not on the server and was not in any earlier deployment, so this was rebuilt from the Key Dates seeded in the schedule builder and the directives logged on the Administration page. Check it against the Falcon Flyer before relying on a time, and edit this page if anything has moved.
