A Sneak Peek
On September 3rd, at our first Parent University for the school year, Rhetoric School deans, faculty, and staff will host robust sessions on flourishing academically in the Rhetoric School, college readiness, graduation requirements, and guiding our students well in the age of AI.
A point of clarity about supplies for our math course in geometry:
Students need a calculator for MTH 201: Honors Geometry. Per our 2025-2026 book list, students may use a TI 30xa (non-graphing scientific calculator), or they may use a TI-84 plus calculator, which they will need for Honors Algebra 2 and Honors or Advanced Precalculus in future years. MTH 201 students also need a compass, protractor, and graphing paper for this course.
Through the end of the school day on Friday, August 22nd, students may discuss changes to their fall semester class schedule with Mr. Miller, Valor’s new College Counselor. Students’ course fees for curriculum purchases and rentals will be updated on 8/22 to reflect changes to class schedules.
