A Message From Your 2025 Team:
Happy New Year Class of 2025 Families!
We hope that you were able to spend your time relaxing and recharging with those close to you throughout the break. We are excited to welcome you back for the start of Spring Semester 1 on Thursday, January 5, 2023. There is a lot coming up in the next few weeks. January is full of events from our Course Request Information Night to our Parent Shadow Day. And Winter Formal is around the corner in February. In just a blink of the eye we will reach the halfway point of high school for the Class of 2025. Students are growing taller and spreading their wings of independence.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Grade Level Team with any questions, concerns or good news you would like to share with us. We wish you all wellness and joy in the new year!
Take care,
