- High school students interested in joining TATU (Teens Against Tobacco Use) please come to an informational meeting Thursday, January 21, at 8:00am in the Media Center. Learn what TATU is all about and how you can help younger students understand the dangers of smoking, vaping and other tobacco use. Questions? Please contact Ms. Telkamp at ktelkamp@carrollinstitute.org.
- Any students requesting a schedule change for second semester need to stop in and see Mrs. Ruesink.
- QUARRIERS: The School year is half done and we’re still playing games and having matches…that is definitely a win. It looks like the national pandemic status is not good, so please be vigilant with our mitigation efforts and keep our area safe. See you at a game
- Quarrier High School Students: Please refrain from bringing glass containers into the school. We understand accidents happen but it is a lot easier to clean up something that was spilled from a plastic cup/bottle than a glass bottle. The janitors are concerned about broken glass and ask that you bring in only plastic containers to hold your water, coffee and foo foo drinks. If you have any questions, please see Eve in the high school office. Thanks!
