Principal’s Flyer #22: January 21, 2024
Dear Students & Families:
We hope you’re enjoying a chilly but lovely weekend. Monday will mark the first day of semester two (quarter three). Any students who will be changing classes because they are half year classes should take a moment and check their schedules this evening and/or tomorrow morning. Students: we will make sure to announce this…However, a quick check of your schedule can save you time and stress. Students in any full year courses, please be reminded that your courses do not change. Report cards will be issued no later than Friday, January 26th in the student/parent (community) portal.
A reminder that Monday students will take STAR middle of year literacy and math assessments. As always, we offer competitive prizes (students you are competing with yourself for growth) as a reward for effort on your STAR assessments. Students - these assessments help us understand how you are progressing in your learning and what supports we can offer you. Thanks for putting your best effort into your assessments on Monday AND be advised that among the prizes up for effective effort include tickets to the Wizards game, below!
Finally, as we enter this term three, we’d like to shout out Ms. Flis and all English and related AP students giving up Saturday to participate in additional Advanced Placement coursework preparation. Your hard work is bound to pay off, Warriors!
