    A bit about the show:
    9 to 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.

    Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Mr. Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down.

    End of Semester Assessments: We structure the end of each semester in a way that lends itself to summative tests, activities, or other cumulative projects. Below is the bell schedule for the final week of the first semester which provides each of the seven periods with an extended meeting time to accommodate semester-ending assessments and activities. Schedule for January 9, 10, 11, and 12, 2023.

    Second Semester Course Changes: Second semester schedules are now live on Infinite Campus. If a student wishes to make a change to one of their courses, they need to fill out the online Schedule Change Request Form using their Rockwood email.

No changes will be made once the second semester begins so change requests must be submitted by Thursday, January 12, 2023 at 3:30pm. 

     

    NOTE: Schedule changes will only be permitted for the following reasons:

    1.) A student has been misplaced and/or does not meet course prerequisites;

    2.) A student has already taken the class and passed it;

    3.) A student had the teacher previously and failed the course;

    4.) A student has an incomplete schedule.

    5.) A change more closely aligns to my college and career goals.
