Wolfpack Weekly Grades 9 - 12
Week of November 10th
AGCS HS Families,
With the first quarter report cards now available, this is a great opportunity for students to reflect on their progress and growth. We encourage families to talk with their children about reaching out to teachers to ask questions, seek feedback, and identify specific steps for improvement moving forward.
Parent/Teacher Conferences for secondary students will be held virtually. We strongly recommend that students attend these conferences alongside their parents/guardians so they can take an active role in their academic success. Please be sure to sign up for a conference slot when the link comes out.
Our fall sports seasons are also coming to a close. Congratulations to our Cross Country team, Boys’ Soccer team, and Girls’ Volleyball team on their successful seasons. Thank you to all of our student-athletes for representing AGCS with pride, and thank you to our coaches and staff for their time, leadership, and support throughout the season.
Finally, the countdown is on for the new building! Teachers have received their room assignments and have begun preparing materials to transition into the new space. Excitement is building, and we look forward to sharing more updates soon.
Have a great week!
