Message from the Principal
Dear Students and Families,
We're entering the final stretch, and it's essential that everyone takes the opportunity to catch up on any missed assignments or incomplete work. If you need assistance, your teachers are here to support you every step of the way.
Looking ahead to the summer, there are various opportunities for both support and enrichment through our summer school programs. Keep an eye out for more information about registration and available courses on the districts website asdk12.org.
Graduation is a significant milestone, and we're excited to celebrate it with our graduating students. Our planning committee is working hard to organize a memorable ceremony. Updates regarding graduation and related events are coming from Mrs. Wester.
Now is also the perfect time to start thinking about your academic and career goals for the next school year. Schedule a meeting with your advisors to discuss your plans and get the support you need to succeed.
If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to fill out our "Next Year Plan Survey." Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us better understand your needs and preferences.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support as we navigate these final weeks of the school
Lucas
