Shout Outs from Parents & Students
Please use THIS LINK to provide a shout-out to a staff member who deserves a pat on the back!
Ms. Sloan: Thank you, Ms. Sloan, for making my son feel comfortable in the Math class. He said you are the nicest math teacher he has had for the past few years. Math is not his strength. He works hard at it. It is important for him to ask questions when he needs to.
Julyana Saxton for being awesome friend: Julyana always is a good friend because she is always nice.
She helps me when I need it.
PARENT INFORMATION for Student Success Skills
The Student Success Skills Inventory is used to measure student growth across Student Success Skill standards as a result of Rethink Ed lessons. Students will complete the 15-20 item pre-inventory between August 26, 2024 - September 13, 2024. The post-inventory will take place between April 14, 2025 - April 25, 2025. It takes about 15 minutes to complete. The inventory is pushed out to students using the Illuminate platform. Parents can choose to opt their student out of the inventory. To opt out, parents must submit a written request to opt out to the school principal.
