Start of 2nd Semester:
Students, please make sure you have checked your MyStudent schedule to see your new schedule for 2nd Semester. The only change you will see is if you have a semester class. You will have a new semester class for 2nd semester. You will report to this new classroom starting on Tuesday. Please see an administrator if you have any questions.
Student Progress:
We are entering the first week of quarter 3/semester 2. Report cards will be available on Friday, January 17th. Please take a few minutes and review your students’ progress. It is important to remember that the quarter 1 grade is averaged with quarter 2 grade to determine the semester grade. The semester grade is what is on student transcripts. If you have questions, contact your student’s teachers. If you would like to schedule a parent/teacher conference, contact Ms. Collige at 352-524-5539. Remember we have free tutoring on Monday’s and Wednesday’s. See the flyer in the newsletter for more information.
