Principal's Corner
This Monday, January 20th there is no school as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Take time this weekend to reflect on and celebrate the extraordinary life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and peace transformed our nation and continue to inspire us today.
As a reminder, term 2 closes Friday, January 17th. Congratulations to our students for finishing semester 1. Semester 2 begins Tuesday, January 21st. Any semester 2 elective schedule request changes must be completed by noon on January 24th. Please keep in mind there is very limited room to change electives; this year we had over 200 more students enroll than last year.
Grades for term 2 will be available on School Brains starting the week of January 27th.
