All students will take the STAR test for both Reading and Mathematics in August. Our school uses this test to monitor student growth and achievement. Your student's scores are now available through Infinite Campus under the more tab and selecting SLDS. We have detailed video instructions posted on our website to help you with this process and the opportunity to request a more detailed report to help support your student's growth this school year. This report summarizes your child's scores on the assessment and shares areas where they are ready for more practice. As with any assessment, many factors can affect your student's scores. It is important to understand that these scores provide only one picture of how your student is doing in school.

Please access the STAR parent instructions here on the school's website main page for more information.

Extended Tutorial is planned on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays each week this semester and starts August 13th. Students can stay after school for ANY teacher's office hours, clubs, and/or teams and then report to the extended tutorial. Students must be picked up by 6pm on extended tutorial days. This allows families a later window for transportation while allowing students access to extracurriculars and office hours.

The teachers listed below will be hosting this week's extended tutorial.

Keep in mind that even if the teacher/subject you need is not listed, any of the adults can help you make a tutor.com appointment or give you general direction on making the most of your study time.

Student grades are updated in Infinite Campus and can be monitored by parents via Parent Portal. Please review your student's progress and discuss their plan for success regularly.
