Also, as we look ahead, I want to remind you that the third quarter ends on Tuesday, April 1. This is a great time to check PowerSchool and have conversations with your student about any missing assignments or areas where they may need extra support. Our teachers are always happy to help, so please encourage your student to reach out if they have any questions about their grades. Thank you for your continued support in helping our students succeed.
