Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
We hope you all had a nice short week after the long weekend. It is hard to believe that we are already at Progress Report grades for quarter 1! Progress Reports are meant to inform you of your students' progress so far this school year. These grades are not posted on your student’s transcript. We hope families and students take this opportunity to celebrate or recalibrate before the end of the quarter on October 11th. Progress Report grades will be made available for viewing by Wednesday, September 11th through the Aeries Parent Portal.
Our first home football game is tonight and it is always an exciting event for students, parents, staff, community, and especially the players. Kickoff is at 7:00 PM against the Tigers of Morse High School and we hope to see you there!
Rah! Rah! Cougars!
