BUS INFORMATION:
Bus 675 will not run today, Friday, September 9th. This affects Straley, Princeton and Princeton High.
Last year, approx. 16 students from various WV counties (Berkeley Co., Cabell Co., Greenbrier Co., Harrison Co., Jefferson Co., Kanawha Co., Mercer Co., Mingo Co., Monongalia Co., Preston Co., Putnam Co., etc.) accepted appointments to attend U.S. service academies and prep schools! One key to a student’s success (besides academic, physical, and extracurricular achievements) is being informed about potential opportunities at these educational institutions and starting the information gathering process as early as possible. An appointment to a U.S. Service Academy is a fully funded education opportunity valued from $240,000 to more than $400,000.
We are writing to request that you spread the word to middle and high school students that Academy Day 2022 will be held for any and all students, parents and school officials interested in learning more about U.S. service academies (Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, Military/West Point, Naval).
We will also have representatives from local ROTC programs on hand to discuss ROTC scholarship opportunities and a representative from the Dept. of Defense’s Medical Examination Review Board will join us on Saturday, September 24, 2022 and Sunday, September 25, 2022.
Academy Day is an opportunity for students, parents, and school officials to ask questions and obtain information regarding the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy as well as the ROTC scholarship process. No Registration Required.
Students who want to attend a prestigious U.S. Service Academy are generally more successful when they begin planning courses and extracurricular activities early in their academic career. Please attend and encourage middle and high school students, parents and school officials to attend.
Representatives will be ready to answer questions regarding the educational, physical and recreational requirements to attend these prestigious institutions, how to obtain an ROTC scholarship and the academy nomination process.
Attention students who ride bus 677 (Tony White's bus) to Mercer Elementary, Princeton Middle, or Princeton High School:
Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7th, bus 677 will be replaced with the electric school bus Mercer County is piloting for the next six weeks. Mr. White will be the driver and it will take the same route as bus 677.
College fair for juniors and seniors. Permission forms are available from your advisory teachers.
Just a reminder that student drop off in the mornings should be done in the parking lot at the back of the football stadium and pick up after school should be done either in the back parking lot or at the football stadium. The bus loop in the front of the school is for buses only at both of these times.

This is a reminder for seniors who signed up to take Dual Credit English 101/102 with Mrs. Persinger: You need to bring your check for the first semester of the class on Friday. Checks should be made payable to Concord University for $75 and should be turned in to Mrs. Persinger.
Schedule Announcement:
Due to the implementation of a new student management system, unfortunately student schedules will not be complete in enough time to mail them prior to the first day of school on Friday. Therefore, students in grades 10 through 12 will receive their schedules in advisory on Friday morning. Ninth graders will receive their schedules at orientation on Wednesday morning. Freshmen who do not attend the orientation on Wednesday will also receive their schedules on Friday morning. A list of student advisories is also posted so that students will know who their advisory teacher is and where to go when released to class on Friday.
Meet the Teacher events are scheduled for this week. We’re excited to see you!
