We're Here, We're Hip, and We Are Happening!
We had an excellent start to the school year and I am so impressed with how well our students are adjusting to yet another new school reality! Lot's of students are using lockers for the first time, changing classes for the first time, and just having a more authentic middle school experience and it is fantastic!
Every start has it's hiccups and we are doing some final class balancing. We needed to create some additional sections of our specials classes, so your child may have received a new schedule. We are doing this because our current sections of wellness were too large for the space. Making one change always has a domino effect. All of these changes are minor and do not result in team changes or core subject changes. If your child's schedule changed and you have any questions, please feel free to email your grade level guidance counselor.
