Hello Econ Families!
It's hard to believe that we are in the month of February already. The next few months are critical as we prepare our students to succeed. We recently shared our progress towards our school improvement goals with the School Advisory Committee.You can access that information

.
- We have Saturday School Academies on February 9th for the following subject areas: Geometry, Algebra, 8th grade science, and Civics. Classes run from 8:30-11:30, and this is a great way to help prepare for some challenging state assessments in those content areas. If you would like more information, please email our CRT, Mr. Dean.
- We want to thank and recognize our Counselors, Ms. Wharton, Ms. Frenyea, Ms. Sabbides, and Ms. Galiber, during National School Counseling Week! We are grateful for your hardwork and dedication!
- Also, our PTSA will launch a Valentine's Store fundraising event this week. Students, parents, and staff will have an opportunity to order from a selection of gift arrangements, which will be delievered on 2/14. Samples will be displayed this week from 9 to 9:20 am in the Courtyard. See below for more details!
Thank you for staying connected and have a great week!

Important Student Conduct Policies
|
|
This week, we have reminded many students about the dress code policy outlined by Orange County Public Schools. We are asking for your support in this area. Please take some time to review the document below with your child. We are stressing the importance of attending school on time, every day, and with a purpose of learning. We believe that how we present ourselves is a critical part of reaching our goals. Thank you for your help in this matter.
