A note for students and parents-
Greetings!
We participated in Professional Development today and had the opportunity to hear from Dr. Patricia (Tish) Jennings, an internationally recognized leader in the fields of social and emotional learning and mindfulness in education. In our work throughout the day, there was much praise mentioned for our students, their resiliency, and their dedication to their education.
We want to thank our students and parents for your continued support.
Stay warm!!
Julie, Mark, and Lori
Weekly Spotlight
Scheduling Information
Reminder - Schedule requests were due February 10th through the home high school guidance. We are currently working on reviewing each students' requests to ensure prerequisites are met and students' choices keep them aligned with on-time graduation.
Students planning to participate in college credit plus again next year will need to complete the yearly required Intent form. Other necessary steps are embedded in the questions on the Intent form. If a student has already applied and been accepted to a university, they do not need to resubmit that apply.
