Message from the Principal
We're getting close to vacation, but next week is a regular week academically. With the energy and excitement of the season, it is still important to remember that attendance matters, and every minute counts! Students will be engaging in academic activities and assessments to wrap up units and sections before the break, so it's important that everyone is here each day and ready to participate.
The holidays can also be a stressful time for students, staff, and families. If you or your student needs support, please consider us a resource and partner and let us know; we will do all we can to help.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Maguire

Academics in Action
Band
Students have been developing their musicianship skills in band. They are thinking critically about the music and can make music, corrections, and decisions about their playing each day. The ongoing success this fall has been a great motivator and their hard work is paying off!
Anatomy & Physiology
Anatomy and Physiology students are using the Anatomy in Clay systems to model the positions of muscles in the human body.
Our visual learners get to see it. Our tactile learners get to touch it. Our kinesthetic learners get to get up and move around. And everybody's getting auditory because they're hearing the instruction. We're hitting on all cylinders when we using the ANATOMY IN CLAY Learning System!
