SECOND SEMESTER SCHEDULE CHANGES
In an effort to balance class sizes and improve student outcomes, counselors will be adjusting several classes. Please be sure to check StudentVUE on January 5th to confirm your schedule. Please know that we make every effort to keep students with their current teachers, but if a change does occur in your schedule, counselors will not be able to move a student back into the first semester schedule. As always, teacher and period change requests cannot be accommodated. If you need an academic level change, or if there is a change request, please use the form below:
>> Click here to submit your change request BEFORE January 12th at 3:30 p.m.
2023 WINTER RESOURCES AND FOOD ASSISTANCE

WINTER BREAK WORK PERMITS

SEMESTER 1 GRADES
Please take a moment to review your student's semester grades in ParentVUE.
>> Visit this link to log into ParentVUE
You may view final grades in synergy after 12/15. If you have concerns, please reach out directly to your child’s teacher. If your child missed a final exam due to unforeseen or expected circumstances, the teacher will calculate the grade without that assessment. When school resumes in January, your child will work with that teacher to make up the final exam without penalty, and the teacher will recalculate the grade.
