"The 1st 9 Weeks Comes to an End"
Can you believe that this is the last week of the 1st 9 weeks of school? This week, teachers will be submitting report card grades for all of their students. If you have not looked at your child's most recent progress report, please access it in Skyward Family Access.
The teachers are working hard to make sure all students have submitted any missing assignments. Please review your child's grades and encourage them to submit their assignments by Friday, October 16th.
We want all of our students to be successful, but your partnership is needed. Please let us know how we can best support your child.
Your igKNIGHTed Principal,
Dr. HP Hyder, III
"October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month"
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Breast cancer has impacted millions of families around the world. I'm sure many of us can name family members and friends who have been impacted. This disease has directly affected my family as my mother is a breast cancer survivor!
To honor those who lost their lives to the disease, those fighting it now, and those who survived, every Friday in October is PINK Friday! So, go dig around in the closet and help your child find something PINK.
I cannot wait to see our students in PINK every Friday!

"2nd 9 Weeks Begins Soon"
The 2nd 9 Weeks begins on Monday, October 19th. We are anticipating over 100 students to return to campus for in-person learning. Learning from home can be difficult, so having the opportunity to provide in-person learning will definitely be a win-win for our students and teachers.
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Given this, all of our returning students will participate in an orientation on their first day back to learn about our safety protocols. Below is a list of some protocols we have in place to maintain a safe learning environment for all:
- Students are screened for COVID-19 symptoms and have their temperature checked before they enter the building.
- Students sit at socially distanced cafeteria tables.
- Students transition using one way hallways.
- Hand sanitizer stations are available throughout the building for student and staff use.
- Students are required to wear masks at all times while on campus.
We are excited to welcome your child back to campus and will continue to provide safe, engaging learning opportunities.
