With just a little over 3 weeks left till summer vacation, let’s start thinking about getting squared away with shop close down procedures, purchase requisitions and preparing your final grades for the year.

Please make sure your storage containers, trailers and vans are closed and locked each night.  Many nights they are left wide open and unsecure. Additionally the weather can get inside and possibly ruin the contents.
