Winter Issue (November-December 2024)
Transition time and finishing strong!
Students and Parents,
Although we are all excited for the upcoming holiday season, we must remember to finish the nine weeks strong by turning in all work, attending tutorials, and doing well on those final exams in December. This is also a good time to look at your spring schedules in Skyward and if there are any schedule changes that need to be made, please contact your counselor via email, counselor request Google form, or in-person before the winter break. We hope to see everyone at all our upcoming events and please take the time to enjoy the cooler weather!
