Semester 1 & Student Led Conferences: Our students finished Semester 1 in December before we went on the break. Tomorrow, your child will receive a copy of their Semester 1 report card. You can also check PowerSchool under S1. Your child has also prepared a presentation for you to share at Student Led Conferences (SLC) on campus next Thursday. This presentation is a reflection of how they did in each of their classes 1st semester. We are excited to welcome you on campus for this event. Please come to campus with your student anytime between 3:00-5:00, go to their 1st period class, and review their SLC presentation. Once your student is done presenting to you, you are free to walk around campus with your student. FLYER If you are not available, be sure to find time at home for your child to present their SLC.
