Wildcat Weekly

As we approach the end of the first quarter on October 30, I want to thank you for your continued support of our students and school community. The first months of the school year have provided many opportunities for learning, involvement, and growth both inside and outside the classroom.

I would like to recognize our Theater Department, including students in both Acting and Design & Production, for the successful presentation of the first production of the year. Their hard work, preparation, and collaboration were evident throughout the performances. Thank you to the students, staff, and families who contributed their time and support to make the production a success.

With the end of the quarter nearing, I encourage students to review their progress, complete outstanding assignments, and take advantage of available support from their teachers. Finishing the quarter with focus and effort will help set a strong foundation for the remainder of the year.

Thank you for your partnership and all you do to support our students. I hope you and your family have a wonderful rest of October.

If your child was absent or needs a make-up picture for another reason, please mark November 18 on your calendar.

Students who are late to school because weather impacted their arrival are tardy to school. Weather related delays are not excused. Please be aware of the weather forecast and plan to leave earlier on impacted days.

If your child wants a yearbook, they must order by February 19, 2027. We do not order extra yearbooks. The only guaranteed way to ensure your child has one is to order. I stress this because we have disappointed students each year, and I always hope to avoid that.
