Parents,
This year seemed to go by slowly at times, but we are already at the half-way point for the fourth-quarter. Make sure to login to your student's grade portal to check on his or her progress. Students are still continuing to receive invites to Academic Support Fridays. Academic Support Fridays are for any student who needs to visit with a teacher for tutoring or to complete missing work, not just for those student who receive an invitation. Please encourage your child to attend as needed.
I want to share with you a reminder that, depending on your email provider, you may see "Message clipped -- view full message" at the bottom of this email. Simply click on that link to view the newsletter in full.
Blessings,

- Past Due Balances for SENIORS: In order to clear seniors for graduation, school policy requires all financial obligations on campus to be paid in full by May 14th. Exceptions are not made to this policy, so we kindly ask that you plan accordingly to ensure your senior is cleared to receive his/her graduation cap and gown.
