High School Scheduling Parent Informational Night
Current 8th – 11th-grade parents/guardians are invited to take part in an informational scheduling night that will be held on Thursday, January 31, in the High School auditorium.

We will have a staggered start with the rising 10th – 12th grade (current 9th – 11th grade) parent presentation beginning at 6:30 PM and the rising 9th grade (current 8th grade) parent presentation beginning at 7:00 PM. After each formal presentation, teachers, counselors, and other staff members, will be available to answer specific questions and to provide guidance and support, as needed, as you work with your student to map out next year’s educational path. We hope to see you on January 31st.
