Students also complete an extensive college and career interest survey along with the PSAT.

9th Grade Failure Letters
We must work with families of students who are struggling to ensure they get on a path to improvement quickly. Families of all 9th Grade students who received at least ONE Failing grade on their Interims will receive a letter this week to be signed and returned.
Included in the letter will be options to assist your student in improving their grades. The first step is to involve them in the After-School Program where they can receive extra tutoring and have time to complete missing assignments. Please be on the lookout for a letter if you have 9th Graders, and have conversations with your students about their grades and classes.
