The Titan Weekly

Greetings,

Another week has flown by! We are headed in to the final two weeks of term one. It is imperative that students stay on top of their assignments and ask for assistance from their teachers as needed. As parents, please remember to check Schoology for the most up to date grades and to ask your student about their classes.

We have four-day week school weeks for the next two weeks. Schools are closed on Friday, October 20 so that teachers can engage in professional learning and on Friday, October 27 so that teachers can grade for the end of the term.

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Sincerely,

Lisa Smith

Principal

Did you miss the first Shadow Day? You have another opportunity:

Interested in a college and career pathway focused on the arts? Register today to shadow the Academy for the Fine Arts which is the visual and performing arts pathway for high school students in grades 10-12. The AFA meets during the school day and is housed in Gov. Thomas Johnson High School. In addition to rigorous advanced level courses, many of which count as Dual Enrollment credit, the AFA provides a unique artistic community for students who are seeking to challenge themselves in a collaborative environment.

During the shadow day, students will spend 2 blocks of the day learning about the program from our student ambassadors, taking a tour of the facilities, learning about the application process, and visiting any of the following focus areas:

Music

Dance

Visual Art

Theatre

Musical Theatre

The next Shadow Day will be Wednesday October 18th.

Often, you may have heard the term “side-out” chanted during a volleyball game. “Side-out” is about regaining control. In volleyball, it’s about regaining control and making a point; with The Side-Out Foundation, it is about helping breast cancer patients regain control of their lives. On October 26th, 2023, Titans Volleyball will be hosting a Dig Pink volleyball game to help raise awareness and funds for The Side-Out Foundation.
