Parents/Guardians
December Updates:
We are currently wrapping up first semester with final exams and projects. We currently have 21 Seniors requesting to graduate at semester. We wish them the best as they begin college, the military, or are entering the workforce. We conducted our student study night on December 12th. We had over 55% of our students attend. The freshman had the highest percentage of participation at 69%. Many students expressed how appreciative they were to have that time to meet with teachers and prepare for the end of the semester. We will have another one in May prior to the end of the year. Attached you will find our November Students of the Month. Congratulations to those students.
As Freshman parents are aware, we implemented our ICU monitoring system for missing work this year. To date, we have had 3363 missing assignments recovered and are sitting at a 4 year low as far as Freshman failing classes. We will continue this program second semester and hope to improve on our current numbers. We know that success Freshman year is paramount to a successful high school career.
We will return to school on January 3rd and begin our second semester. Students will have 1 week to change classes once they return. The cut off for class changes will be January 10th. Please have conversations with your student over break about next semester so they can make sure to make any necessary changes.
Remember that we will use the district's school messaging system to communicate information throughout the year. If you change email addresses or phone numbers please log in to the parent portal and make those changes so we can ensure you get the most current information regarding your students.
I also want to update you on Ms. Pope, our advanced Math teacher. She is back in the hospital battling cancer. She underwent another procedure yesterday and is expected to be in the hospital at least through the holidays. I ask that you keep her in your thoughts and prayers as this has been very difficult for her and her family. We hope for some positive news in the next few days.
We hope you have a safe holiday season and if you have any questions or concerns please contact us.
Thanks,
Chris
