Weekly Update Grade 6-12 / May 7
Dear Students and Families,
Some of you have noticed that I am out of the office Thursday and Friday. I am on vacation. Hence why I am late in communicating our weekly update. My 10th-grade son and I are in Indianapolis for the weekend as we start the search for colleges. It is fun, exciting, and a little nerve-wracking.
This week's newsletter focus is on:
- Graduation June 13th
- Prom June 11th
- Spring Meltdown Activities
- End of Trimester Deadlines
- Parent Announcement
- Student Expectations - Staying strong and committed to our number one priority
IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER!
