Welcome Back!
We hope everyone had a wonderful summer break and went on some marvelous adventures! Now it's time to buckle down and get back to class - so to speak.
August 14th marks the first day of the 2017-2018 school year, huzzah! Please feel free to post your own characters' summer updates at your leisure, be it OOC entries summarizing or summer narrative/threads you've been working on while we were on summer break. All teachers and students are expected to be returned to the school by Sunday, August 13th to resume classes. Standards report to the Academy up to a week early to have their orientation before the upperclassmen arrive.
This being a new semester, please update your characters' CURRICULUM. Keep in mind that they can repeat the same class, but consider it the next advanced level. Also remember to update your characters' grade (Standard, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert) accordingly.
House Mentors for the coming school year are to be announced! Members who play teachers who are Head of House, please see to it that your teacher assigns two mentors. These can be NPCs if there is no one ICly appropriate. Remember, Mentors are Experts only.
The start of the school year also means the start of the Class Presidency! If your character is ambitious enough to run for Student Body President, they need to get busy campaigning. We will need a President, a Vice President, and a Treasurer. These can be any year, however a student who becomes a Mentor cannot also be a member of the Presidency.
Last but not least, we have new characters! Three brand new Standards are coming into the game. Please take the time to hit the FRIEND ADD button on all your IC journals.
Once again, welcome back! We look forward to another exciting school year.
