As we enter the month of December, we want to thank you for your continued support of our students and staff. This time of year is always busy and full of energy, but it also brings important reminders for our students.

The second grading period ends on January 9, and with the short stretch of school days before winter break, it’s essential that students stay focused and make the most of this time. Encouraging your child to check their grades, complete any missing assignments, and communicate with teachers now can make a meaningful difference before the grading period ends.

As always, thank you to our dedicated teachers, staff, and families for your continuous support and partnership. We greatly appreciate your support and your communication. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful December!!!!

Students should have access to check their own Progress Book. Please direct them to their Advisory teachers if they need assistance.

Please be sure to check your student's Progress Book account to monitor their academic progress. Parents can also sign up for their student's Google Classrooms to receive notifications when assignments are posted.

Students and parents can access Progress Book to review grades and missing assignments.

Please do not hesitate to email your child's teacher if you have any questions. You can email staff directly by locating the staff member's name on the following website.
