A Message from the Principal
Spring has arrived, and we hope everyone had a wonderful and restful spring break and is ready to start the 4th quarter!
Fourth quarter in middle school is a unique mix of excitement and distraction. The weather is nicer, activities are ramping up, and students are starting to feel the end of the year approaching. This can make it harder to stay focused and motivated. We are reminding students that this final quarter still matters—grades, habits, and effort all count. With a strong finish, students can head into summer feeling proud of what they accomplished!
As always, ASAP is available Monday–Thursday until 4:30 PM for any students who need additional support with homework or assignments.
