Week of April 13-17, 2026

Puma Families,


We hope everyone had a restful Spring Break and enjoyed time with family and loved ones. As we return, we are entering the final stretch of the school year with only six weeks remaining.


This is a critical time for students to stay focused and ensure they are on track academically. End of Course Exams, Advanced Placement Exams, and End of Pathway Assessments will begin in May. Please take time to review the schedule below and support your student in preparing for these important assessments.


We also have several key events approaching, including Junior/Senior Prom on April 18 and Graduation on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:00 PM at Dalton Stadium, along with additional senior events in the coming weeks.


As always, we are grateful to be part of such a strong and supportive community. We encourage everyone to continue looking out for one another and offering support where needed. If your family needs assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our front office—we are here to help.
