Madison Mmwegwa
It is truly a pleasure to have Madison Mmwegwa as a student in my Advanced Algebra 1 class. She takes all advanced classes, excels in AVID, and participates in athletics. Madison is a very focused and dedicated student who takes learning seriously. She has established positive relationships with her peers and is always willing to help others. She always treats her classmates and teachers with respect. She is a model student that deserves to be recognized! She is the definition of doing things The Gator Way!

Traffic Flow
Please review this GIF for an overview of how traffic will flow during arrival and dismissal. Students will be allowed to enter the building at 7:50 a.m. (Late Arrival Days: 9:30 a.m.). Dismissal will begin at 4:00 p.m. each day.
Special Services Drop-Off
Parents, please use the car rider loop in front of the building when picking up and dropping off each morning/afternoon. The area to the left of the building is reserved for our special transportation buses and parents. To proceed to this area, you should have received a Special Transportation card from the Special Services department. All other vehicles should use the car rider loop.
*Note: Be reminded that the car rider loop is a "ONE WAY" (no right turn from the front parking lot). Thank you!
GRADES/HAC
Please ensure to check HAC to review your child’s grades and any missing assignments. Set alerts in HAC to help you monitor when the grade falls below your expectations. Encourage your child to attend tutorials. This 9 weeks grade is critical to the end-of-year average. Each 9 weeks grade is used to calculate promotion to the next grade or retention (the requirement for summer school).
