Attention Families,
Grade cards are being sent home today with students. Please take a few moments to review them and talk with your student about their progress. If your student could benefit from additional support, we offer after-school tutoring twice a week to help them stay on track.
We would also like to invite parents and guardians of students being recognized for the following honors: 3.75 and higher Honor Roll, National Merit Finalist, AP Awards, SAT Awards, Educators Rising National Award, and Student of the Month.
Due to limited seating, we ask that only parents or guardians of students being honored attend. The Academic Awards Assembly will be held Tuesday, October 28th, at 9:00 AM in the auditorium.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in celebrating our students’ achievements!
