Parent Teacher Conferences Oct. 27 3:30-7 p.m. (2nd Night of PTC on Nov. 3)

We will be through Quarter 1 by the end of the month! In the meantime, you can check your student's grades at any time through Infinite Campus to stay up-to-date on their progress. Please remember that grade checks for extracurricular eligibility and Senior Open Campus occur every three weeks, with the next check happening Tuesday. We encourage students to stay focused, maintain their grades, and take advantage of any available support if needed. Additionally, good attendance is key to academic success and builds the life skill to show up, so let's continue to make daily attendance a priority.

If you have any questions or concerns, please communicate with the appropriate classroom teacher, Advisory teacher, or the office.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together for a successful school year!

Mrs. Shannon

We look forward to seeing you!
