I can't believe we are wrapping up the school year in less than 8 weeks! We are continuing to work out the kinks in the course requests and getting everything finalized. You will be able to few the course requests for next year, soon. Please make sure to check your emails in these last weeks of the school year and our social media pages for important updates, dates, and reminders.
Please continue to reach out to the counseling office if there is anything we can help with. We want to make sure the end of the school year runs smoothly for all of our students and parents.
