This time of year is extremely busy on campus. As a principal, it is a combination of celebrations, performances, assessments, evaluations and preparation for the upcoming school year. This past week we also welcomed district guests on campus on two occasions. It’s always great to show off our campus and teachers. Several of our student-athletes have qualified for the district championships and we want to wish them luck as they compete against the rest of the district this Tuesday night at Evans High School. We will also move our SAC meeting from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday if you would like to attend.

  

Last week we had to take several ear buds from students. Please remind your students that the school board policy prohibits the use of cell phones during school hours. Ear buds are often connected to cell phones for music and not permitted.  

We will have our next set of State Assessments coming up on May 2nd. All students will be taking their math assessments on that day. Our teachers are spending the next ten days reviewing the standards that were covered for the year. Following the assessment, our math teachers will begin to focus on previewing standards for the next level of math. Attendance is a key component of success in all classes, but especially in courses where the content builds on itself like math. Please try to have your students on time each day to ensure that they are receiving the complete review. 

Thank you for reading.
