Dear Class of 2025 Families,

It is here! Our incredible four-year journey is nearing its conclusion with graduation only one month away. It has been a beautiful journey and a privilege for the 2025 Grade Level Team. From navigating freshman year to preparing for graduation, the Class of 2025 has shown resilience, growth, and determination every step of the way. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and grateful for the unwavering support you have provided as families.

As we enter this final stretch, here are some important reminders and considerations to keep in mind:

• Graduation Ceremony: Please mark your calendars for June 4, 2025. Detailed information was sent out last week but may also be found on the 2025 Graduation webpage.

• Cap and Gown Distribution: All textbooks, Chromebooks, school materials and fines must be returned/paid by June 3rd. Students will not be able to pick up their cap and gown until everything is returned. If you did not purchase your cap and gown yet, students will have to purchase them during distribution. They must bring $47 CASH.

• College and Career Planning: Encourage your student to double-check deadlines for college deposits, housing forms, and scholarship submissions. Our Grade Level Team along with the College & Career Center are available for last-minute questions. (Do not forget the SPACE Program is available for assistance in June as well--see info below)

• Senior Events: From prom to senior breakfast, this season is full of celebration!

This is a time of reflection and excitement—a moment to honor every late-night study session, every success, and every lesson learned. Thank you for being our partners in education and for walking beside us through every challenge and triumph.

Class of 2025 Families,

As we approach the final weeks of the school year there is a lot of excitement (and senioritis) in the air. We want to take a moment to address an important matter regarding student attendance.

It has come to our attention that some students are planning to participate in what is commonly referred to as “Senior Ditch Day.” We want to make it clear that this is NOT a school-sponsored or approved event. As such, any student who is absent on that day without a valid, documented excuse will be marked as unexcused in accordance with our school attendance policy. Unexcused absences may impact their grades and ability to participate in school-sponsored events.

We understand the excitement that comes with senior year and the desire to celebrate milestones. However, we ask for your support in encouraging responsible decision-making as students finish out their final year. Maintaining good attendance is especially important as we prepare for final exams, graduation requirements, and other end-of-year responsibilities.

Thank you for your understanding and partnership in supporting a successful conclusion to your student’s senior year.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Grade Level Team.

This Year's theme is "Turn Awareness into Action". We would like to highlight the importance of Mental Health by having conversations and finding healthy ways to cope with our emotions. So let's raise awareness, reduce stigma and promote understanding of mental health issues. Wear GREEN every Monday in support of Mental Health Awareness.

Here is a great overview of what we need to support our Mental Health. The 5 C's of mental health are: Connection, Compassion, Coping, Community, and Care. These elements provide a framework for fostering mental well-being, resilience, and overall quality of life.

Here is a brief overview of each:

• CONNECTION: Humans are social beings, and strong social connections are vital for mental well-being.
• COMPASSION: Extending kindness and understanding to oneself and others can significantly impact mental health.
• COPING: Developing healthy coping mechanisms for stress and difficult emotions is crucial for resilience.
• COMMUNITY: Being part of a supportive community provides social support and a sense of belonging.
• CARE: Prioritizing self-care, including physical and mental health practices, is essential for maintaining well-being. (ICAN non Profit)

• Wear GREEN on Mondays to enter in a raffle

• NAMI Club Mental Health Fair on May 7th during lunch in the quad.

• Mind Out Loud Watch Party with donuts (date and time TBD)

As a judge, you will listen to Seniors share their high school experiences and talk about their plans for the future.

We are so excited to introduce The DEN, a student-centered space that provides academic support both before school and after school in ExL, Room 1600.

The DEN is staffed by Academic Coaches and Credentialed Teachers in order to provide student support and facilitate achievement. Students can come in before school and/or after school to receive help in all subjects. Here are some of the support systems the DEN will provide: tutoring, remediation, test prep, test proctoring, timed writings, study groups and student-centered support in any academic capacity.

Beginning this Thursday, Helix parents/guardians will receive an automated phone call and email notification, if your student is currently failing one or more classes. The purpose of this call is to ensure that you are aware of your student's academic standing and to encourage timely intervention.

Students who receive this notification should attend tutorial sessions on Friday morning, starting at 8:30am, with their teacher(s). This will provide them with the necessary support to improve their grades and understanding of the subject matter.

Please review the tutorial schedule below.

We hope all families will consider joining the Helix PTSA, click here to join. There is no commitment involved. It is just an annual, one-time donation of $13. The funds raised through PTSA memberships go directly back to the school and students for scholarships, special programs and anything the students may need! The more members we have, the greater access we have to grants and programs that will support Helix students.

***Any students interested in applying for PTSA scholarships (we give out $5,000 each year) must be PTSA members.***

If you want to make more of a commitment, consider joining the PTSA board. This means attending one meeting per month (if you are available) and being on an email distribution that shares information about upcoming volunteer opportunities. The meetings are typically held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5pm at Helix or via Zoom. If you are interested, please email PTSA President Dave Hardenburger at helixptsapresident@gmail.com.

If you just want to be informed about upcoming events and school news, follow Helix PTSA on social media on Facebook and Instagram.
