At the end of the race, nobody really cares about how you started, so stay laser-focused and finish strong. Get ready to proclaim “I did it!”

- Farshad Asl

As we enter the final stretch of the school year, this is a meaningful time for both reflection and forward thinking. In advisory classes, students will be completing our annual Climate and Culture Survey, providing valuable feedback that helps us continue to grow and improve as a school community. This process also encourages students to reflect on their own experiences, relationships, and sense of belonging throughout the year.

In advisory, we are focusing on finishing strong, holding on to meaningful memories, and acknowledging that some friends are moving on to new stages of life. We are also encouraging students to set goals for summer and for the year ahead, reminding them that growth continues beyond the classroom.

We would also like to invite parents to take our Parent Climate and Culture Survey, which was sent out by email last week. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us better support our students and school community. Please use the link below to complete the survey:
