We are Nearing the Midpoint of the Quarter!
Can you believe we are already nearing the midpoint of the quarter? If you have not done so already, please take some time to log into PowerSchool to take a look at your student's academic progress. The first quarter does not end until October 22.
Please note that as we move forward into the fall season, our goal is to keep ALL students in school. The very best ways to avoid an 8-10 day quarantine for your student (should he/she be exposed to Covid) is to have your student vaccinated or to encourage your unvaccinated student to consistently wear a mask while at school (This means everyday in every class).
Thank you for all that you do to support student learning!
Have a great week!
