Week Six (Spring Semester)
Report cards were mailed home Friday and unfortunately there are higher than usual number of Fails and Non Pass grades. Many students are struggling to get back on track after Covid-19 related absences. Our teachers are here for you! With fewer than 8 Covid-19 positive cases last week (we opened with 50 in one week!), now is the time to get back on track! Take advantage of after school tutoring that teachers offer during their office hours to raise your grades before the 10 week report card.
For those of you who are on track and have passed ALL your classes, your Advisory teacher will be raffling a $10 Subway gift card! Congratulations!!!
Read below for amazing opportunities and important news for students, parents and staff.
Sincerely,
