Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed your time with family. If you are like me, you are ready to get back to your routine. I know that 2026 will be filled with even more memories. The second semester is always a very busy time, so I look forward to maneuvering through this semester with all of you. 

On Friday, January 9th, your students' report cards will be available for viewing in PowerSchool. Please note that we had many absences before the holiday break. If your student missed work or a test and was not able to make it up before grades were due for teachers, your child's grade might be lower than expected. Please do not worry. Your student can make up their work, and their grade can be resubmitted; Power School will then update accordingly. The teachers appreciate your patience as they must follow deadlines for grades, in addition to managing the makeup work.

Parents of 8th-grade students, please be on the lookout for upcoming events from the high school regarding registration and course selection.

Even though this is a shorter week for the students, we will still hit the ground running. As always, if you need anything or have any questions, I am just a phone call or email away.

With Pride,

The master schedule is student-driven and based on course selections in the spring during the course selection process. In order to maximize staff and provide the smallest class sizes possible, course selection must be finalized by April 30, 2025.

No changes will be made after this date.
