Dear Trojan Families,

The holiday season is upon us and excitement and anticipation is filling the air. Let's lock in these last 5 days as we have one more EOC (Algebra I on 12/17) and final exams on Thursday & Friday. We kindly ask for your assistance in ensuring that your student(s) are rested and well prepared for final exams.

Our choir concert is on Thursday at 7pm in the auditorium. Please join us if you can.

Lastly, Friday, December 20th is a half day and dismissal is at 12:15pm. This is also the last day of school for the second semester. Students will return to school on Monday, January 6th.

To our supportive families, thank you for your unwavering encouragement and partnership in shaping the success of our students. Your involvement is instrumental in fostering a thriving educational environment. Wishing you all a wonderful conclusion to the semester and a promising start to the second half of the year. Please have a safe, joyful, and memorable winter break.

In partnership,

Michael Abraham

Principal

The fall semester seems to go by quickly with all of the deadlines, activities, and school breaks. Seniors should be considering what they are planning to do after graduation in just a few short months. It's ok to not have a definitive plan right now, but they should be thinking about all of the available options-tech or trade school, college, military, or career opportunities. Students may speak with their school counselor or our career counselor for assistance.

Parents and guardians should be sure to log in to PowerSchool to keep up with students' academic progress and attendance. PowerSchool is the system used to keep up with students' grades and attendance. The system is live, so as teachers are updating grades and attendance, you can see it immediately. As a parent or guardian, you can also set up notifications for Parent Portal to contact you about your child's progress on a weekly basis, daily basis, or anytime a new grade or attendance code has been entered.

• Students must be present for at least 60 minutes to get credit for attending class.
• Parents may submit up to three parent notes per semester or a total of 6 per school year. If your student is absent, please submit an excuse to nwabsencedocumentation@rhmail.org within three days of the absence.
