Hello Owls,  

Semester two is off to a strong start! I would like to extend a thank-you to everyone who was able to attend a Roundtable or School Accountability meeting. The team and I value and appreciate the collaborative efforts that make our school special. If you haven’t reviewed your student’s progress through the first two weeks, please log in to your Canvas observer account to ensure that the student is on track with the plan you made together during the student’s advising meeting. Please reach out should you or your student need any additional support. Thank you and have a wonderful day!   

Mr. Smith
