MAP testing has begun during 1st -2nd hour. We will not have bells during this time. All hallways need to be as quiet as possible. Please do not use your locker between 1st and 2nd hour in any hallway. There will be students testing throughout the building. During passing times, all students need to be respectful of those that are testing and keep the halls as quiet as possible. Students will still need to be to class on time, we will just be using the clocks instead of bells. Thank you in advance for your help.

Congratulations to the Van Far Quiz Bowl Team! Last night they faced Westran in the semifinal round, beating them with a final score of 260 - 140. The team will advance to the state competition next week. To my knowledge, Van Far has never progressed past districts in its history. I would like to honor Mr. G, a much loved quiz bowl coach and science teacher, and Mrs. Nasir, his wonderful replacement upon his retirement. We will do our best to represent quiz bowl members past and present! Mrs. Winders
