Parent Teacher Conferences and 11th Grade Parent Meeting

Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place this Thursday, February 21st from 5:00 – 7:00 PM . This is an excellent opportunity for parents to conference with teachers regarding the academic progress and social development of their child. We hope to see you all here.

And for all parents of 11th graders, please plan to stay for a very important meeting right after parent conferences. The parent meeting for the Class of 2020 will begin at 7:00 pm in the Theater and will include important information such as: Picking the best 12th grade schedule for your student Surviving the last year of high school Starting the college application process

Reminder from the Attendance Office

A kind reminder to our parents and guardians: Requests for students to leave early from school must be made no later than 30 minutes prior to the end of the school day. If you require a student to leave early closer to the time of dismissal, please send a note with your student in the morning, and the office staff will be able to assist you.
