Dear Parents and Students,

First I want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the parents and students who attended our Student-Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, March 28, 2024. Your presence and participation are invaluable in fostering a strong partnership between home and school, which ultimately contributes to the success of our students.

Your commitment to being actively involved in your child's education is commendable and greatly appreciated. These conferences provide an excellent opportunity for us to discuss your child's progress, strengths, and areas for growth. Your insights and support are vital in helping us tailor our approach to meet the individual needs of each student.

For those parents and students who were unable to attend the conferences, we understand that circumstances may arise that prevent participation. We want to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to stay informed and engaged in their education. If you were unable to attend and would like to schedule an alternative meeting, please don't hesitate to reach out to the school office.

As we approach the end of the school year, it is especially important for parents and seniors to check in and receive updates regarding graduation requirements and other pertinent information. We want to ensure that every graduating senior is well-prepared and equipped for the next chapter of their journey and all of our other students are on on track to wrap up your current school year and to be on track or closer for the following grade level. In addition to credit requirements, all juniors are required to take the SAT and NM-ASR assessments, which will be given this month.

Once again, thank you for your continued support and partnership in education. Together, we can empower our students to reach their full potential and achieve success.

Warm regards,

Much Love,

Gina Hutchins
