Honors Challenge
The enrollment form for the Honors Challenge in PowerSchool has closed. Between now and 10/23, teachers will be reaching out to students and families to confirm successful enrollment. If, by 10/24, you have not heard confirmation from a teacher and believe you and your child did enroll in the Honors Challenge in that course, please contact the teacher directly and we will update our records. All students who have opted into the Honors Challenge will see an “HP” designation on progress reports, and teachers will keep students and families updated on progress in fulfilling Honors Challenge requirements as the year progresses.
