Some thoughts for the starting school year
A note from the Principal . . .
3/3/23
Hello families and parents,
March is upon us and we are moving closer and closer towards graduation. As we head towards spring break, we need your support in insuring that your student’s attendance habits stand firm. Chronic absenteeism is one of the major factors affecting student’s academic performance. When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. Although weather conditions haven’t been the greatest over the last few weeks, we still have an opportunity to finish the year strong.
On March 16th & 17th we will be live streaming our academic awards ceremony for regular and superior honor roll students! Parents can tune in to see and hear their students recognized for their academic achievements on our live stream YouTube channel. Please join us for our Women’s History Month Program that will take place on March 23rd. Join us as we celebrate and honor women’s contributions to U.S. History and to women’s contributions to Zion Benton Township High School. Parents of senior students should expect to see a graduation contract, via Google form, before spring break. The deadline for the submission of the contract is April 10th and it will be required in order to receive purchased caps and gowns.
There is still time to complete the 5 Essential survey. This opportunity allows you to share your views on important elements of school effectiveness. The results from the survey will provide a rich picture of the inner workings of your school from an organizational perspective. The QR code below will take you to the survey. Please complete it at your earliest convenience.
As always, You Matter; You are Important; We are Proud; and We Bee-lieve.
With Zee-Bee Pride,
Mr. Zackary Livingston
