As we head into the short school week and long holiday weekend, I want to share with you all a word of gratitude. High school is a critical time of change, growth, and discovery, and it is our great joy to support your scholar in their development, every day. Thank you for entrusting us with the great privilege and responsibility of walking with your student through these formative years.

This week, we will have normal school days on Monday and Tuesday, but we want to remind you that that there is no school on Wednesday. Cleveland was granted a waiver on this day so that our staff could facilitate Student Led Conferences, which many of you have already participated in. We look forward to welcoming you many of you into the building this weekend to participate in your SLC.

We hope you have a warm and safe holiday weekend!
