The Weekly Update #29

We have many exciting events and activities coming up over the next few weeks. Please check your child's grades in Powerschool, as we only have about 2 weeks left in the third marking period. Please also make note of your child's attendance as accruing too many absences could result in a loss of credit.

As always, enjoy your weekend and let us know if you have any questions.

Spring is arriving in a few days! Which means it is a popular time to “spring clean”. This ritual is often good for our mental health as well as our living space! Even for teens, it can be a reset if they clean out and organize their room or workspace. Spring cleaning can offer a sense of control and empowerment, which can help reduce anxiety and depression. It may also allow us to feel a sense of accomplishment with the tasks we are able to complete. In order to avoid being overwhelmed, start with small tasks first. You might find that you are then motivated to tackle other tasks you have been putting off all winter. Here are some quick tips to share with your students/teen to help them benefit from some spring cleaning as well:

• Set realistic goals

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help

• Make it enjoyable-play music, listen to a podcast, invite a friend for company

• Take breaks-make sure to have good snacks handy to keep energy up

• Get outside-if you can’t do this, at least open some windows while you clean

The High School Store is selling pink t-shirts, hoodies, and PJs. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society. They can be purchased in the store or online at the button above.

GREAT STOCKING STUFFERS!!!

Not sure if you ordered your student a yearbook this year? Here are three ways to check:

1. Go to your email and search for ‘Jostens Order Confirmation’. Be sure the email/purchase date is from this school year (2024 - 2025).

2. Go to www.jostens.com. Log in with the email you believe you used to purchase the yearbook. Click your name, then ‘Orders’ to see lifetime purchases for that account. Click ‘Receipt’ next to any purchase to verify that the order was for a yearbook and not an ad or other celebratory product. Again, please verify that the purchase date is from this school year (2024 – 2025).

3. Click here to use the Jostens Order Lookup system. You will need to select our School and then enter your Student’s First Name, Last Name, and Grade. PLEASE NOTE: The system searches for exact matches. If you may have ordered under a child’s nickname, i.e. Ben instead of Benjamin, please try both names in the search fields.

Thank you so much for your support of our school and yearbook program.
