Doc Talk

TWO hexters down and ONE to go in the first semester! Congratulations to all of our students for their hard work and dedication to their education as we complete hexter 2.

Hexter 3 starts on Monday, November 4th, and it is an early release!

Be on the lookout for information regarding upcoming activities like the Thanksgiving Feast, the next Parent/Community engagement night, Phoenix Day, and Outdoor Education (to name a few...).

As we begin hexter three, make sure students are dressing for the weather and are present, engaged, and ready to learn!

As a reminder, it is very important that you all come to school on time! We will be cracking down on tardies next hexter, so please be sure to be at school on time to avoid lunch detentions. After your third tardy, it is a lunch detention. After the 4th tardy, it is an after school detention. Subsequent tardies will result in single hour absences and more detentions. Please don't fall into the cycle of being late!

"Be strong, and let your light shine!" - Doc
