Week of March 1, 2021
Dear Jags,
We look forward to welcoming back our T3 Face-to-Face students to campus tomorrow, March 1, 2021. The unexpected weather events of the last couple of weeks have challenged many of our families in unexpected ways, but the kindness, flexibility and patience of our whole community has been inspirational. We are better together and our students are learning to me more resilient by the actions we take and the lesson we teach them through events like this.
On campus, we are continuing to prepare for T4. If you requested a Learning Model change for your child, you will receive more information about that transition in the coming weeks. We are also in the middle of course selection for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. In this email, you will find important information about informational meetings related to your student and course offerings for next year.
Finally, we hope you will join us for our Virtual Spring Open House this Thursday, March 4 from 6:30-7:30pm. Our teachers, counselors and administrators look forward to connecting with you to share the things that are taking place in classrooms and throughout the school. Look for an email this week with a schedule and links for the evening.
Have a great week!
Cholly Oglesby, Principal
