If you want to know more about the risks involving teen pregnancy and STD’s, be sure to buy the Accent. It will be on sale this Thursday and Friday only for 25 cents.

We are having trouble with students wearing sweat and wind pants to school. If you will read your Austin Student Planner on page 23 you will see that these are not allowed at Austin. Beginning today, any student that is not following the dress code will be written up and sent to the office. Appropriate discipline will be given, to clarify, sweatpants/wind pants of any kind are not allowed at school. You may wear sweat shirts, but not the pants. If your sport has issued these materials, they are only to be worn after school or during your athletic period – not your other classes. Teachers will also be writing up those students whose shirts are longer than the tops of their pockets, those with sagging pants and other issues that are clearly stated on page 23 of the handbook. If you are written up today and it is not your first offense for dress code- be prepared to spend a couple of days in ISS or CASE.

Austin boy’s basketball will play Sparkman tonight at 7:00. The tickets are $6.00, and your passes are not good at tonight’s game. Please come out and support the Black Bears.
