Dr. Collins Commentary

Gator Parents,

As we approach the middle of the grading period, please take some time this weekend to have your child pull up Skyward and Schoology. Let them give you a report about how they are doing in each class, and help them make a plan if there are any areas that need attention. If you notice missing assignments, have your student send the teacher a Schoology message and plan to attend tutorials next week.

Safety Reminders:

Car rider students remain in the parent vehicle until 8:20 (when staff are on duty).
Students may not be picked up or dropped off in the teacher parking lot.
Walking students should not arrive on campus before 8:20.
