We will be handing back state assessment score reports from the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) with score information from last spring’s PSAT / SAT / M-Step tests.
Students will get these score reports from their 3rd hour teacher to bring home next week.
All students can access their PSAT / SAT scores by logging into their college board account. Students need to know their College Board account and login to complete test prep and future planning activities this year.
We are committed to the safety of our students and staff. With the support of Officer Price and Officer Jewell, we work hard to maintain a secure environment, which includes occasional K-9 sweeps on campus to enhance safety. Student safety remains our top priority.
For more information on the guidelines that contribute to a positive and secure environment, please refer to our high school handbook. Together, we create a safe space for every student.
