Principal's Remarks
Week 8--Quarter 2
Second Quarter
Second Quarter Ends on January 24. Please check your child's grades and encourage them to attend Wildcat Sessions, as needed.
Virtual Snow Days
Because the weather required the use of two snow days last week, we have started to prepare for the possibility of virtual snow days. There will be one more traditional snow day. If any other snow days are required, the system will call for virtual snow days.
February Musical Date Change
Due to the impact of BCPS weather-related closings and delays, the theater department opted to move the musical from February 13-15 to February 20-22.

WILDCAT TIME
Students use the AllTimely App to sign up for Wildcat Time sessions. Please remember that we dedicated 10:30-11:00 a.m. each day to Wildcat Time Sessions. It is important that students leverage this time to seek any assistance or academic support they need. Encourage your child to use Wildcat Time for this purpose. Please reach out to teachers, as needed, if you believe your child needs support in a particular class.
