Olys, unfortunately, the library has once again experienced not one, but two thefts: Our antique dictionary and a Rubik’s cube. In addition to the theft, our Library has been repeatedly littered with food, which has resulted in a mouse problem. So, until our stolen items are returned and our students can respect the no eating policy, the library will be closed during lunch. And as a reminder, you must have a release, an online class, or a note from a teacher to be in the library during class time and you must have your physical ID card to check anything out. Thank you for your cooperation! 2/1

Attention current juniors and seniors, applications are flooding into CTEC from across the district.
