Good morning! We can't wait to see you back on campus. Please note we will be following this schedule today due to the 3-hour delay. Our second and third blocks have been flipped so that lunch will be close to the normal times.

Only PM CTEC and Graham (Welding and Public Safety) will attend classes today. Afternoon CTEC and Graham students need to be in class by 1:30 on those campuses. Our afternoon CTEC and Graham students will eat lunch during 1st lunch, and the bus will leave at 1:00.

Morning CTEC and Graham students will report to the media center during the 1st and 2nd periods in the morning. Those morning classes at CTEC and Graham will not meet today.
