  • Rise Week grades have been entered! We had some missing reflections, missing final exams, and journals without names. Students should swing by the Career Center to see Ms. Carney to replace missing grades.

A form will be distributed to seniors giving qualifying students the option of maintaining five courses (instead of seven).  To qualify, students must 1) be on track to graduate, 2) have at least an unweighted GPA of 3.0, and 3) a few other criteria. Students must return the form with parent signature by Friday, September 28.

We are looking forward to a robust, engaging, and fun school year for all. Below you will find information for upcoming events, including some volunteer opportunities for the first week of school!
