We are so incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our students are putting into their Accelerated Instruction hours (HB 1416)! It has been wonderful to see their growth, and we want to do everything we can to help them cross that finish line with total confidence.

To keep you in the loop on their progress, we sent home personalized updated 1416 letters this week. These letters are designed to show you exactly how close your student is to reaching their goal and how many hours they have left to shine. 

We would love your partnership in helping them prioritize these final steps so they can stay ahead of the curve and finish strong. Please take a moment to peek in your mail or your student’s backpack to find their update. We are cheering them on every step of the way—let's get those final hours checked off the list together!

Attention parents of students with Attendance Recovery hours: 

let’s get those credits back on track! We have plenty of opportunities for your student to make up time every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM, plus our extended sessions (4:00 PM – 7:00 PM) on the following dates:

• January 23 

• February 5 

• February 20  

• March 6

Please note: Hours from the first semester have rolled over, and credits are currently on hold until these hours are cleared. Because we want to see those holds lifted, it is vital that students complete their time as soon as possible. Please remember that bus service is not provided, so students will need pre-arranged transportation for pick-up. Let’s work together to cross this off the list and secure those credits!

Please be aware that we DO NOT allow Uber Eats, DoorDash or similar companies to deliver to school. This includes during lunch times or for athletics pre-game meals. 

This is for the safety of all our students.  We cannot have fast food delivery drivers walking around the school grounds looking for students.

If any food delivery is made to school we will refuse delivery.  If the company insists on leaving it, it will be confiscated. Our school will not be involved in the refund of any money lost.

The school cafe has the license to offer healthy food options for students to purchase.

If a student forgets their lunch, a parent or guardian may drop it off at the front office; however, we ask that this be done only when necessary. Frequent lunch drop-offs can cause students to lose valuable lunchtime while retrieving their food and place additional demands on our office staff to ensure it reaches the right student. We appreciate your help in limiting lunch deliveries to true “as needed” situations.
