A MESSAGE FROM OUR ADMINISTRATION

Kevin Mood-Assistant Principal
Greetings, Jacket Family!
Can you believe we are already halfway through this semester?! Time really does fly when you're having fun!
I wanted to point out a couple of big ticket items as we continue our journey through this semester. First, we are halfway through the semester, so if you haven't seen that second report card yet, it may be time to give us a call! Monday (October 28th) will also be progress report day. Please check your parent portal or ask your student to see his/her grades at this time.
This upcoming week will be a busy one for a few of our teams. Homecoming week has finally arrived, and our student council has done an amazing job setting up a rivalry week with Andrew Jackson High School. A number of events will be happening this week, culminating in a pep rally and the big game itself on November 1st! We really hope to see you there! I would also like to shoutout our Ensemble team who will be performing on Tuesday the 29th as well as our volleyball team, who will be playing their first playoff game on 30th against Greenville Tech.
Last, I would like to say thank you for all that you guys do as parents and guardians. You guys have been incredible this year as far as helping us here with your time and attention. Please continue to be involved in your student's academic success and let us know if there is anything that we can do to further your student's growth and development.
