Week of February 18

Celebrate Excellence
The end of the 4th 6 weeks is here, and that means we have completed 2/3 of the year.  With that
being said, the last third of the year is upon us, and now is the time push hard to the end.  A strong start is nothing without a stronger finish.  As parents you can help your student with words of encouragement to work hard in class every day, and you can also increase the motivation to finish strong by asking questions about their progress in the classroom and by monitoring grades in their classes.  If you don't have access to the online gradebook or if you would like to know more about your child's progress, please contact your child's campus office or teacher.
