During the application process, many students stop and ask me "Hey Big Jim? Psyhigh isn't run by the government, or the Illumaniti, or @GROTTO G.S.M. INC., or Yum! Brands, or something like that, is it?"

And I tell them I remember when I was just a little sprout, growing up like @Silverfawn on a greenhouse on Mars, and I said "Well, how did I get here?"

Certainly, it would seem that the accumulation of capital necessary to sustain the advanced recreational facilities, full body wi-fi, and up-to-date text books that Psyhigh enjoys would necessitate the involvement of some shadowy organization with connections deep into the monetary systems of not only this planet but a fair number of adjoining realities as well. Especially in light of Psyhigh's generous scholarship and "free lunch" program.

And what I tell these fine, young minds is that it's YOU, the students of Psyhigh, that make Psyhigh what it is, and it's your dreams and aspirations that power our school. We do this through advanced technology from the future that is buried deep underneath the administration building, in the same caverns that house the Spongiform Unimind.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE FATHER

The Time Tomb will open at precisely 3:01 this afternoon, at which time The Father will be released from its chronal sarcophagus for approximately one hour.

Access to lower campus is restricted as teams prepare for the arrival. Students are asked to wait in the Rose Garden until the reception area is open to visitors. Seating will begin at approximately 2:30pm.

Refreshments provided by the Active Psychic Student Alliance.

All staff and summer students are asked to help make this a successful event and keep a special eye on the visiting PsyHigh Summer Camp participants. We wouldn't want any of our little campers caught up in the gears, would we? Please contact PsyHigh Summer Camp co-lead-assistant counselor @Klarya if you have concerns about the campers' safety.

This event will be live-tweeted at twitter.com/psyhigh #timetemple by our own Dr. Naravane, Professor of Temporal Mechanics Engineering.

LANDING OF THE MOTHER

The annual appearance of The Mother will be at exactly 3:27 pm today in the Rose Garden. Airspace above the school will be cleared at 3pm, and not resume until further notification. Please observe the yellow caution tape boundaries placed around the Rose Garden and adjoining spaces in lower campus.

Refreshments will be provided by the APSA. Please observe common sense around The Mother and do nothing to excite or provoke it during its brief appearance.

REALITY ACCIDENT UPDATE XVII

Some students have reported that their "health" and "life" have recently been excluded from the changing reality boundaries as defined by the wake of the Reality Accident.

If you feel your "health" or "life" are being removed from your understanding of local reality, please report to the school nurse immediately. Emergency Reality Generators have been installed around the administration building and near the dorms to handle overflow. Feel free to interface with them as necessary.

EXTRA HOUR STORAGE--MIDNIGHT DEADLINE

Just a reminder to all students and staff to bring their extra hour to the cellars beneath the administration building for safe storage until November.

Checking in your extra hour may take added time as Tulka will be making double-sure each one is properly tagged with its owner's name. This will help us avoid the mix-up we had last year.

Students and staff are also strongly urged to adorn their extra hour with simple, homemade identification markers. Examples of this type of identification include tying a piece of brightly colored ribbon or yarn to your hour, taping bright athletic tape to the hour in the shape of your initial, or stenciling your name or initials on the hour in permanent marker.

In the ongoing wake of the Reality Accident, students have reported an increasing frequency of imitation circumstances and counterfeit temporal experiences on campus. Sometimes these are a simple as opening a text message from an fictitious source, but some ersatz experiences have been observed to be as long and complex as a complimentary cruise, including meals and accommodations for two for a five-night, four-day vacation. APSA President @i am the champ recently reported taking such a illusory tour and says that the food was terrible, and he caught some kind of bug.

For your own safety, please be be extra discerning regarding the level of reality of all experiences presented to you. While text and other "social media" messages from imaginary friends are perfectly acceptable, please draw the line at contacts from imaginary entities that are *not* your friends.

Sasquatch Snowball Dance

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, our Sasquatch neighbors have suggested a Snowball Dance to celebrate our diversity, connection, and love of dancing.

As the location of the Sasquatch Community Center remains necessarily secret, we'll be holding the dance on campus at Mesmer Hall this Saturday, beginning at 8pm. Music will be provided by the Skunk Apes--the world renown Sasquatch drumming circle. Slots are still available for opening bands. Contact @timberlina if you'd like to be involved.

See you this Saturday!

If you have family or legal guardians who may have been on the other side of the gates at the time they were closed, please put your name on the list in the office. We expect to regain contact with those sectors soon, and are confident that anyone detained will be released as soon as possible.

The remaining open gates are highly congested due to overflow of redirected and stranded travelers. We ask students to limit themselves to only essential dimensional travel until this situation has stabilized.

NEW YEAR'S PROTOCOL 2016b

On the off chance that @GROTTO G.S.M. INC. is experiencing a service disruption, participating Roman Calendar students are asked to perform an interpretive dance of the answers to their Suggested Mandatory Personality Tests in Mesmer Hall beginning at 9pm, reverse alphabetically by their etheric names.

Tulka will be checking student IDs at the door.

NEW YEAR'S PROTOCOL 2016

Many people drop by my office or stop me in the halls and say, "Hey @Big Jim! Is there going to be a New Year's Party this year or what?"

For students whose Chronal Identities (or CI's) are set to the Roman calendar, your New Year will begin on January 1. Your upcoming year will be determined by the results of your Suggested Mandatory Personality Tests.

@GROTTO G.S.M. INC. will be facilitating the ceremony on New Year's Eve. Please send your completed Suggested Mandatory Personality Tests to @GROTTO G.S.M. INC. so your New Year can be fully preprogrammed before January 1.

Students who have not yet turned in their completed Suggested Mandatory Personality Tests include Wayfarer Brainchild, Krazno the Strange, M-144b, LucretiaT, Saffron Bittervine, Burt Williamson, Gewy, Kumiko Israel, @Crystal Rosethorn, @Charlotte, and Legs McKenzie.

Get those Suggested Mandatory Personality Tests turned in soon!
