The Hall Way...
We made it to the last week of school. WOW! Thank you to all of our families for your continued support. We had over 450 families pick up their locker materials on Friday and it was so nice to see so many of our students. Somebody may have a face mask burn/tan line as she forgot to reapply her sunscreen throughout the day... :) Just proof that I was enjoying seeing so many of the students that I did not think about it until it was too late! Let's just say there has been lots of aloe vera use at the Hall house this weekend.
The staff was all smiles on Friday night when we had the 8th grade celebration parade. What a fun way to congratulate our students and wish them well as they get ready for the adventure of high school. We also are excited to share our virtual promotion ceremony with our families this Wednesday at 7 pm. Please see the 8th grade section below for more information. Don't you worry 6th and 7th grade, your parade will be happening this Thursday at 11 am!
Stay healthy, safe, and take care of each other. We are all in this together. Warhawks, We Got This!

Grading: Fourth Quarter and Final Grades for 2019-2020
Fourth Quarter Grades:
Fourth quarter and rotation five grades will be marked with a “P” for passing or an “I” for incomplete. Students receiving an “I” overall for any course will be required to enroll in, and successfully complete, a summer program to ensure they have been instructed on the necessary skills for next school year. An email will be coming out this week to all parents/students who currently have an I (incomplete) and this impacts. Please encourage your student to turn in any missing work they have so they will not receive an I (incomplete) for fourth quarter. New work will be not be assigned this week and the last day that any missing work will be accepted for fourth quarter is Wednesday, May 20th.
Final Grades for 2019-2020 School Year:
Final grades for courses will be a cumulative average from quarters 1, 2, and 3. Teachers may bump up a student's final grade due to successful completion of eLearning. Report cards for fourth quarter and final grades will be available through Home Access the week of Monday, May 25th.
Please visit HomeAccess to view the current grade reports. Links for instructions and Home Access can be found below.
Congratulations to Mrs. Carlson on her retirment!

7th Grade News
6th Grade News
Every year the 6th grade teachers choose a student from each of their preps who they feel have truly embodied what it means to be a Warhawk. These students may not always get the recognition they deserve, but their work, effort, kindness, etc. does not go unnoticed. We are so excited to present to you the 2019-2020 students of the years on the slideshow below. When we return to school, they will each receive a certificate to acknowledge their accomplishment. Congratulations!
Last day of school for 6th and 7th graders is Thursday, May 21st
We will have a parade for 6th and 7th grade students and their families at 11 am on the last day, May 21st. Please enter in the north entrance and drive down through the Mary Endres parking lot to loop back around into our circle drive. The parade will exit out through Melody Lane. Hope to see you there!
