Please mark your calendars to come out and support the girls while they raise funds for our own Mrs. Gibson!! You can preorder your shirts here and ALL PROCEEDS go straight to the Gibson family to help offset costs of medical bills (as if the diagnosis and treatments aren't a kick in the gut enough, let's tack on the costs...). Shirt sale closes on September 15th.

This will be a building-wide policy designed to ensure that the retake process requires more work from students than the initial studying and preparation for the assessment. Students will be allowed one retake per quarter, per student, per course, although teachers may use their discretion to allow additional retakes when appropriate. In order to qualify for a retake, students must demonstrate one week of consecutive connections, consisting of four days and the completion of at least three remediation assignments. The retake assessment does not need to be in the same format or style as the original assessment. Students must complete the retake within seven school days of receiving their grade. This policy will apply to all classes except CCP courses and will not apply to final or midterm exams.

To report your student as absent from school, please call the attendance line directly at 440.355.2401. Please state your student's name, grade, reason for absence and your name and relationship to the student. Thank you so much!
