A Note from Principal DeVito
Good Afternoon, Jaguar Nation!
There will be no school this Friday or Monday—enjoy the long weekend! Also, next week is the final week for students to submit their course selections for next school year. Parents, please take some time over the long weekend to discuss elective options with your students and ensure they are making the best choices for their academic journey.

Counselor's Corner
The counselors visited 7th-grade classes on January 31st and
6th-grade classes on February 3rd to discuss course selection.
They will return on February 19th or the 20th to assist students with entering their courses into Skyward,
if they haven’t already done so.
Skyward will be open from February 3rd to February 21st.
There's no rush, as it’s not first come, first served—feel free to take your time!
