Grades at the six week mark

Please have a conversation with your student about their current grades.  While many of our students are doing great, some continue to struggle to get done what needs to be done. Our Success Center numbers have gone up, but there are plenty of open seats.  Now that winter seasons are finished, students should have even more time to work on their studies.  All students will be given a paper copy of their progress reports and all of them can check their grades daily. 

We want to do everything we can to help all our students be successful!

A Honor Roll Supper

Our Student Achievement Committee hosted an "A Honor Roll" Supper on February 11th.  We wanted to do something special for those students who really go the extra mile in their studies. All first semester A honor roll students were invited.  Our committee of teachers put this together and served the meal.  We held it at the Summit House and catered in chicken.  It was a nice reward for our students and we hope to continue this in future semesters. 





End of Hex 4 is Wednesday

Parents,

The end of Hex 4 is this Wednesday.  The year seems to be flying by!  Teachers will submit progress reports and we will hand out these reports on Tuesday at lunch.  Have a conversation with your student and see how they are progressing in their classes.  No late work will be accepted after February 20th.
