Warrior Weekly News

This week was a whirlwind of activity with the quarter coming to a close and the energy that comes with final grades being due. Weeks like this provide a chance for reflection and a bit of new beginning. Students have a moment to reflect on their learning and their habits. Please check in with your student to reinforce successful habits and help them to think about the ones that are not leading to success. So much of what makes adults succeed is the habits they develop in high school including study skills, asking for help, and consistent attendance. Please reach out to a school counselor or administrator if you need additional support. We are ALWAYS here to partner with you!

If you are looking to see our amazing Warriors in action this weekend, we have Drama Club performing in the PAC all weekend, the girls swim sectional at MHS on Saturday, and football tonight in Neenah. These kids are amazing and love our support!

Have an amazing weekend!

Go, Warriors!
