December 2021 Newsletter
Closing Out First Semester
Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 5th, 2022 for 2nd semester. During third quarter, we will send out intent-to-return notices to assist us in determining enrollment numbers for the 2022-2023 school year. As a reminder, students should maintain a 70 or above in each subject to continue in the magnet program. Our staff is committed to supporting students, but we also expect students to be committed to learning so we maintain an engaging and strong learning environment.
We look forward to an exciting and strong finish to first semester and can't wait for what's to come #undertheBartondome!
