Hello Trojan Families,

As we start a new week, we want to highlight the importance of regular school attendance. Being present not only boosts academic success but also helps your child develop good habits, responsibility, and social skills.

Consistent attendance leads to better understanding of lessons, improved performance, and meaningful interactions with peers and teachers. It also supports emotional well-being by providing a sense of stability and belonging.

While we recognize that absences are sometimes necessary, please prioritize school attendance when possible and communicate any issues with us. Your support is vital for your child's success.

Thank you!

Michael Abraham

Principal

First FAFSA Workshop

This is an introductory workshop for the FAFSA, the Federal Application for Student Aid. The FAFSA is intended for seniors who are planning to attend a 2 year or 4 year college after they graduate high school and can provide free money for college. We will talk about the preliminary steps to starting the FAFSA as well as the cost of college education and scholarships available.

Currently, the FAFSA will open for our seniors in December. This initial workshop will walk you through creating a parent ID, a student ID, and talk through changes to the FAFSA. This workshop will be helpful if you have questions in regards to how the FAFSA works and if you need help creating your account. You will not complete the FAFSA application as it is not open yet, however, you will have created the ID you need to access the application in December. We will have our second FAFSA workshop in December.
