February 25th will be our next Culture Day. If you would prefer that your student not attend Student Support on this day, please ensure that a release form has been completed and submitted. Release forms are available in the main office. If you plan to pick up your student on Culture Day (or on any future Culture Days), you must come into the building to sign them out. This is helps us maintain student safety.
Thank you for your cooperation. |
PSAT/SAT Preparation:
9th-11th graders are busy preparing for the PSAT/SAT that will take place in April. Please encourage your student to practice on Khan Academy so that they are as prepared as possible for the exam. They will also be practicing in their classes.
ACCUPLACER: 9-11th graders will also be taking the ACCUPLACER in the next few months. This is both a way to meet graduation requirements and opens doors to enrollment in college classes. If you have questions about the ACCUPLACER or your student taking college classes, please reach out.
