Welcome back!
Just when we thought we would dodge winter, mother nature has a curveball coming for us tomorrow. Please stay tuned for any updates on school/activity closures. Either way, travel with care.
Students received their honor roll and high honor roll certificates today, during advisory. It is important to celebrate student's academic success and this is one of the many ways we try to do that. Equally important are the myriad tiered interventions offered at the high school. Tutoring, individual meetings with teachers, NHS tutors, Wayside interventions and counseling, etc. are all great ways to plug in to supports at the high school. Please have your student contact their guidance counselor for ideas on how to get the help they may need.
