Principal's Weekly Update #4

 

Week 3 is in the books which means it is time for progress reports. Teachers will be finalizing their gradebooks on Monday and progress reports will be viewable on Wednesday through Frontline SIS. Progress reports provide a great opportunity for students to evaluate their study habits and routines. Students often find that small changes, like not having their phone with them when they study, can result in huge gains.

Friday, September 13th will be an day.
