Keeping the Crew up to Date! Volume 1 Issue 25 - 3/13/22
Greetings Clipper Nation!
It is official...we are more than halfway through the third quarter. On the 9th progress reports went live. Be sure to check out grades on the family portal.
We have been enjoying both academic and athletic successes. Just recently the Boys Basketball team won the 3A regional title, our math team took home the county trophy for both JV and Varsity, and our band received the highest rating at districts. So proud of the Clipper Nation!
Students in grades 9-11 will be completing the Maryland School Climate Survey during their FLEX classes at the end of the month. This survey asks about topics such as student engagement, interactions with adults and with other students in the school, the school environment, bullying, and safety. These ratings are reported to the state and are part of our ratings on the Maryland School Report Card. For additional information, see the attached letter below in the newsletter.
Don't forget to adjust those clocks one hour ahead, and I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday.
