General News
Last Week Before Winter Break!
We are only five days away from the end of Quarter 2, and we know that this is a busy time of the year for families. It is our sincere hope that all of our students are passing all of their classes and performing to their full academic potential, so we encourage everyone to be checking parent portal frequently and using this final week as an opportunity to be checking in with teachers and completing any missing assignments.
College & Career T-Shirt Day - Monday 12/16
Our monthly College/Career T-Shirt day will be this Monday, December 16th. Students are encouraged to wear a t-shirt representing a college (or career) with uniform bottoms. Please make sure the college is visible on the shirt, as solid colors are not permitted. Students who do not wish to participate must wear regular uniforms. Our staff will be decked out with shirts from our colleges and we hope students will join us!
