Principal's Message
Happy New Year! I would like to extend best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year. Welcome to 2023. We are excited to have our students, staff, and families back in session and are looking forward to a productive and successful learning experience. It’s a pleasure to see all of our students, teachers and staff back at school after a long, well deserved break. Just like this fall, attendance is essential for continued progress. Please take a moment to look at our December attendance rates. These #’s dipped a bit from previous months this fall:~ 9th grade - 83.7% ~ 10 grade - 83.8% ~ 11th grade - 81.5% ~ 12th grade - 82.1%. As you may have heard, right before the break on Thursday December 13 we celebrated 260+ students that had perfect attendance with an ice-cream social during 6th period! Our 6th period math teachers loved it~! :) As we kick off January together, let's strive to finish the semester strong. The grading term ends on January 27 And teacher grades are due by 7:30 AM on February 1.
Here is a look at what is happening at your school as we kick off 2023 together! As always, please contact the school regarding any questions you may have.
