EOC Exams - Student Achievement
Two indicators that are a significant part of our Annual School Report Card rating are Academic Achievement and Preparing for Success. These are calculated by SC End of Course Exams in the following courses:
Algebra 1
English 2
Biology 1
US History & Constitution
This exam counts 20% of your child's grade and impacts their GPA as well. All students have been assigned virtual tutor practice in EdGenuity for his/her respective exam.
As parents/guardians, please discuss with your child(ren) how they can prepare for and take these exams seriously for personal and school success.
School Climate
We have begun Tighten Up Tuesdays! This is an opportunity for our students to dress for success. Students attire must be dress code compliant. Let's see who can DRESS FOR SUCCESS BEST!
We will start focus groups to plan student recognitions and celebrations for semster 2; thank you to all who expressed interest!
INTER-CLUB Council: Mrs. Gilbert will be spearheading our goal of aligning our student organizations - pre-planning is taking place now.
