Report cards were distributed on Friday, October 13th. Students then spent time in advisory setting goals for the second 9-weeks of school. They should have created an academic, behavior, and personal goal. Take some time to ask your child about their goals for the next two months.

Digital Citizenship refers to way that users responsibly use technology, the Internet, and/or digital devices. Each year, there is a Digital Citizenship Week with a different focus. This year's focus is on ensuring students' mental health and digital well-being.
