This is a reminder of the importance of being present at school on Count Day. Attendance on this day directly impacts our school’s funding and resources, which in turn benefit all students. Each student counted helps ensure we can continue to provide high-quality programs, staffing, and support services. POA students need to report to the media center during their schedule POA hour.

Please make every effort to have your child in school and on time. If your student is ill or has an unavoidable conflict, please contact the office as soon as possible to discuss next steps.

Thank you for supporting both your child’s education and our school community by making Count Day attendance a priority.

Students in grades 9 and 10 have begun taking the NWEA assessments, which measure growth in science, reading, and mathematics. These assessments provide valuable insight into student learning and will be administered again in March to track academic progress throughout the school year. See the link below for more information on the NWEA.

We encourage both parents and students to read the student handbook carefully. It provides important information about school expectations, rules, and available resources, helping everyone understand their rights, responsibilities, and how to create a safe, respectful, and successful learning environment together.
