In this week's newsletter, we celebrate our Honor Roll students for Quarter 1 and recognize our Symphonic Band members for their performance at the OMLA conference this past Thursday.

Next Friday is our interim date for Quarter 2. The start to Quarter 2 has gone very quickly, and the end of this quarter will come even faster. We encourage our students to stay up-to-date on their grades, complete their weekly grade checks during Study Hall, and communicate with their teachers when they have questions or concerns about their assignments.

On Tuesday, December 10th, we are going to offer our first Lunch with a Loved One for our students and their families. A sign-up form will come out soon. Families who would like to participate must fill out the form ahead of time so we can plan for enough space. On this day, families will be able to bring food into the building to eat with their students.
