MSA Film Challenge & MSA Micros and Minis

October 2nd, 2022

We are seven weeks into the semester and progress grades have been posted in ARIES. Please check your students grades and follow up directly with their teachers if you have any concerns. There is plenty of time left in the semester to support students in their success. Teacher have been inviting students to come in for help during office hours on Tuesday and Wednesday each week. Your partnership with teachers is vital to your student’s education. Thanks in advance for your continued support. Be safe and be well.

~ Principal, Mark Brewer
