Information and Reminders
There is only one more Friday and Saturday school tutorial opportunity before our holiday break. Most of the candidates for Friday have been those failing 2 or more classes. Please continue to keep an eye on the Friday school list to see if you have students attending.
We have a district walk-through on Wednesday morning and afternoon. The feedback from Mr. Simmons this past week was very positive.
Our Christmas party is this Friday. There is no need to pay ahead of time as the restaurant will provide separate checks. Please RSVP with Mrs. Vasquez so we can give them a head count. We will have several drawings for prizes and a gift exchange for those that wish to participate. Hope to see you there!
We are slowly getting our labs prepared and teachers trained for students that qualify for our Compass Leaning Lab. We are piloting a few students now and hope to add a few more at semester.
Education Foundation Grant deadline is this Friday.
