Thank You For Attending Scholar Led Conferences!
Hello Gators! Scholar Led Conferences (SLCs) were this week. Please remember that SLCs are REQUIRED for all scholars. If your scholar missed their SLC, they must make that up next week. Please contact their SEL/CCR teacher to reschedule.
Now Is The Time To Get Those Grades Up!
This next week is a great time to focus on completing any work that scholars are behind on. Scholars already set goals and made academic plans as part of their SLC preparation and now it is time to set the plan in motion!
Scholars, reach out to your teachers and make sure you understand exactly what work you need to complete (with your best effort, of course) to bring up your grades. Try to get that work done and turned into your teachers by the end of next week. Won't that be a relief going into break?
You can do it! One more week until you get a break. GO GATORS!!!
Panorama Survey!
Scholars, it is time to take the Panorama survey again. Please remember that your passcode is your student ID number. Here is the link to the survey:

Families, we need your input too! Your link is specific to you and was sent via email by the district last Tuesday. Please check your email to find the link.
Please help us by taking the Panorama survey. We use the data from the survey for making school-wide plans, programs and for staff training. The survey window closes next Friday. Thank you for completing the surveys!
