Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
As we begin the third week of this school year, we are having a Music Genre Spirit Week on campus. Pictured below is the theme for each day, there will be music played during passing periods, activities at lunch, and feel free to dress up for the music era of the day. Just remember to follow the dress code when selecting your outfit.
Speaking of dress code...We know it has been hot outside, however, please remember that we must not wear shirts that will show our mid-section. In addition, shorts and skirts need to be modest in length. We want to dress for success and not create distractions.
DATA at TR has four core values, Perseverance, Integrity, Commitment, and Kindness. Our staff encourages our students to exemplify these values, models them daily, and recognizes these values in our students. Each nine weeks, our staff awards students with a core value award for each of these areas. In previous years, we have held a small award reception and honored students with these awards at the end of each nine weeks. Last year, due to the pandemic, we still honored students with the awards, but were not able to hold the award receptions. Since many students were learning from home, we were not able to give the awards until this school year. Congratulations to our many P.I.C.K. award winners from 2020-2021. We plan to hold award receptions again with year. When our students are ready to graduate, if they have received all four of the P.I.C.K. awards over their time with us, they receive a special P.I.C.K. award before graduation. Let's be sure to model these values each day.
As we turn the page on August and enter September, it is also important to note that getting back to focusing on studying and maintaining good grades is key to success in DATA. During the pandemic shutdown and many students selecting the virtual learning option, we saw a significant decline in our students' focused attention and commitment to studying and earning good grades. Now that we are back to in-person learning, we anticipate this to change and are here to support our students. Please be sure to stay on top of assignments and attend tutoring sessions if needed. Set personal goals to do even better than you have done before and keep improving every day!
Please review the many details included below. If you have specific questions, please reach out so we can assist with those items. Have a wonderful week and please continue to stay safe.

IMPORTANT - Senior 6th Semester Rank runs this week - If you want a transcript with 4th semester rank on it, be sure to order it NOW!
Here is a link to information on ordering student transcripts.
As a point of interest, usually 4th semester ranks and GPAs are higher than the 6th semester rank. You can use the 4th semester rank on transcripts for your initial applications to college. Colleges will want to see the 6th semester rank and the final transcript, but the 4th semester rank can help with initial applications and acceptance into colleges.
Final Official 6th Semester Rank prints on transcripts for 12th graders beginning on September 10. Transcripts can be viewed in Skyward Family Access under Portfolio.
