Broncho SYNC

Happy November, Bronchos!

Trimester 1 is quickly coming to a close. We have only three full weeks of this trimester left. Trimester 1 will end on Tuesday, November 24th, which is a half day. All coursework, including the final exam for each course, for Trimester 1 should be submitted by 11:30 am on Tuesday, November 24th.

We encourage our families to connect with their students about their academic standings, including their grades, course progress, and any missing gradable activities. We have Connection sessions for our students in all of four core subjects and in Spanish. We encourage our students to take advantage of these one-on-one sessions, whether in-person or virtually, to get the support they need to be successful in their courses.

If any Broncho LINK students would like to request to return to in-person learning, the deadline for those requests is THIS Friday, November 6th. Please use complete the Return to In-Person Learning Request Form to let us know of your wishes.

We hope you all have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,

Krystle Voegel
