Happy Memorial Day to All of our Veterans
Principal's Message
Happy Memorial Day to our Veterans and military families! We truly appreciate your service and dedication in serving our Nation.
Last week, parents were reminded about the option to request a "P" to substitute grades. While the "P" is a replacement option for any grade, if your student has an "A" or "B" in a course this may not be his/her best option. Please reach out to your child's counselor if you have questions about the best course of action for your child. Here is the Grade Replacement Authorization Form.
Learning packets are available to for pickup this Tuesday, 5/26/2020. Please use the link to the Middle School Learning Materials to access an electronic copy of the document. Links to Summer learning opportunities are linked below. Please continue to access The Cougar Den, for academic resources.
Be safe and take care of yourselves and each other

Special Message for 8th Grade Parents
8th Grade Parents:This is just a reminder that your child may view the presentation for and complete their Academic and Career Plan. An ACP is a personalized learning plan and course of study that aligns with your child's academic and career goals. This plan will travel with your child to high school, where high school counselors will use this plan as a tool to continue to guide your child through course selections. Please click on the following link to view the ACP presentation. At the end of the presentation, you will find a link that will take your child step-by-step to complete the plan. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's School Counselor directly.
