Hello Hornet Family,

Yes, Spring is in the air. Spring brings a renewed sense of focus, joy, and the promise of sunshine and fair weather. Parents and students, this is the time to go that extra mile. Quarter 3 content Recovery has begun. Report Cards will be issued on March 16th.

Parents, please refer to our school's calendar of events listed below, which also can be found on our website. We encourage you to participate in school-related activities that will enable you to learn about your child's academic and social activities. Talk to your child about his/her grades, OR you can check your Power School account to determine the status of their grades. A Parent/Teacher Conference is scheduled for March 20th; however, if you want to meet earlier, contact your child's teacher to learn how your child is progressing.

Parents, we encourage you to attend our monthly PTO/PTA/SIC meetings and continue to encourage our children to improve in school. Empower them to be the best they can be and continue working towards earning their high school diploma. As Principal, I am committed to doing all that I can do to invest in our children's future and continue the success of this tremendous historical institution. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the C A Johnson High School community.

With Hornet's Pride,

Isaac McClinton, Principal

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled on Monday, March 20, 2023. This is an excellent time to meet with your child's teacher to share important information about your child.

You're both experts.

· Most parents know their children better than anyone else.

· Your child's teacher has special training and experience with many children.

Showing an interest in your child's school life can help them:

· Have a positive attitude toward learning and School.

· Feel proud of your achievements.

· Do their best in School.

Tips for a successful parent-teacher conference

· Find out if your child has any missing assignments.

· Remember, you and the teacher are both interested in your child's success.

Contact the School to confirm the parent-teacher conferences time.
