The Wellness Summit last Wednesday was amazing. Thanks to the students who facilitated sessions on strategies to promote wellness.

Extended Tutorial is planned on Tuesdays, and Wednesdays each week this semester. 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. Below is the schedule for the week.
