Important Information

School Resumed Friday, January 5

The second semester began on Friday, January 5. If your student was absent, they will need to seek out missed assignments and instruction and make sure they have turned in any missed work on the next A Day. Monday will be a B Day.

1st Semester Report Cards

1st Semester Report Cards with final grades will be sent home with students on Monday, January 8. For a reason we cannot identify, all report cards have a note showing up that says the 2nd Grading Period GPA is low. Please disregard that note as the 2nd Grading Period GPA is being reported as 0.00. The semester GPA will be able to be found under the S1 (Semester 1) grading column and will reflect the GPA for this semester (not the cumulative GPA).

Course Selection

Students will begin selecting courses for the 24-25 School Year in English and ICT classes. Counselors will be conducting class visits January 18-25. It is imperative that students are present at school and prepared to select courses.

You can view the 24-25 Course Selection Booklet. More resources will be available in next week's memo.

Schoolwide Late Work and Make-up Policy

There have been a number of questions about turning in missed work. Please note that the school does have an active late work and make-up policy on file in the student handbook. Teachers are not under an obligation to take work that at student fails to turn in on time outside of this school-wide policy.

Grades started over on Friday (1/5/24), so now is the time to make sure that this semester starts and continues with good study habits and turning all work in ON TIME.
