Cougar Nation,

I hope everyone has a great week , and keep bringing your A-game!
Mr. Palmer

Social Emotional Learning Surveys for 9th grade students were sent out via student emails on Monday (5/17). All student surveys will remain open until June 3. Here is a link to a parent letter and a one-page handout if you would like to review this information.
Below are some Survey-Taking Resources for Students:
This guide is useful for sending out to parents/guardians to give them an overview of the surveys, and this proctor guide gives specific instructions for how adults can help children take their surveys.
This article is designed for students themselves to visit and learn more about how they can access, take, and submit their surveys.

Final Exams start Monday, May 17th for A-Day students and Thursday, May 20th for B-Day students
