Parents

The resources I post here are specific to Parents. You may want to familiarize yourself with other parts of the Student Services website (e.g. Graduation Requirements). I post a lot of resources for students to the Google Classroom. Please encourage them to look through those resources. With your freshman, you may want to take some time to sit down with them and look through it together. Hopefully, your involvement will decrease over their four years of high school as their independence grows. I understand this is a difficult balance, and this will take a lot of hard work. Please use me as a resource and reach out if you have any questions.
