Parents and Guardians! Skip the email and phone call to the attendance office and get the App on your cellphone. There’s now an easier and more efficient way of reporting absences, tardies, and early dismissals. CLICK HERE for more information. Students will still be responsible for going to the main office to get an excused passed to class when parents excuse their late arrival to school and/or an excused pass for early dismissals. Getting a pass in advance for early dismissals will l help speed up the process later in the day.

Senior Stories are a graduation requirement that ask students to reflect on their strengths, moments of growth and powerful learning experiences while also displaying meaningful artifacts and sharing their post-secondary plans. Here are some photos from last Thursday:

The day was a success and that wouldn’t have been possible without many hands, hours of labor and love, and collaboration. A huge shout out to Caitlyn Murphy, Chelsea Schonvisky, Sean Rogers, Beverly Burgos, Liz Kupiecki , Liz D’Auria, our secretaries and security team, the many point people who led senior stories, our custodial team, and of course our seniors who showed up and reiterated for many of us why we do what we do.

We will have over 30 community partners in the building throughout the week to sit with juniors for mock interviews, which will be in Room 293. We will have photos from this event in our next Red Hawk update.
