We started the semester off with a bang! Teachers reviewed school-wide and classroom expectations with all students and students have been ON POINT!

Our RISE Above program encourages parent involvement in our school! Parents can assist in several areas: hallways, cafeteria, morning greeters, etc. Please send an email to Melissa Ward for more information! Background checks are required.

Increasing student attendance is one of our big goals for the year. We will have 9 week incentives, by grade level, that are going to be tied to good attendance. Please encourage your student to come to school every day!

*Students who are more than 10 minutes late to class will be counted absent.

*Make-up time will be required for those not in attendance for at least 90% of the day.

*Early release cut off is 2:40 pm

*Make-up hours will be required for those who miss over 10% of a class

Absence notes can be turned into the front office or submitted electronically using Skyward Family Access. See below for an easy "how to."

If your student was inducted into the NJHS at the end of the year last year, please encourage them to get involved and attend all meetings. The NJHS leader is Ms. Mia Gonzalez.

We appreciate our NJHS officers Haley Bozeman, Kaylin Cottrill, Valerie Torres, Taylor Kelly
