Dear 9th Grade Families and Caregivers,

As anticipated, the REMIND messages were sent yesterday to all families whose student needs to stay after school to receive tutoring and complete assignments correctly. Below is a copy of what we communicated via REMIND.

Dear Families,

This message is to inform you that your student is currently failing one or more classes. Please check Skyward to determine which courses are affected.

To support students, we will be offering after-school assistance for the next three weeks, from 2:30 to 3:45 PM. Transportation will be available at 4 PM. During this time, students will have direct access to teachers for help and additional working time in the library.

If you prefer that your student not participate in this program, please let us know so we can ensure they are not picked up from their last class period of the day.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Dr. San Martin

They are located on the 3rd floor of New Main and students are welcome to help inspect the hives and participate in their regular maintenance every Thursday after school as long as the weather is cooperative. We have five full bee suits! A permission slip is available by the hives and should be dropped off with Mr. Engman in New Main 304. This is a good time to remind everyone that our school nurse needs to know about any life threatening allergy that students might have. These bees have been on campus for over a decade and do not tend to sting, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
