PRINCIPAL MESSAGE
It has been such a pleasure for us to bring back our Students of the Month. They are students nominated by our teachers as people who best represent our Core Values of Respect, Integrity, Balance and Perseverance. So far we have honored 17 students this year, but many others have been recognized as well. For this, we are most grateful to have so many students leading by example.
Thanks to the parents and guardians who have filled out the survey on the Block Schedule. Your feedback is important and we want to ensure we allow for key voices to be heard. If you haven't already, please fill out this survey.
Vacation is looming and the week before any vacation is always met with excitement and “Teen Spirit” at its zenith. Let’s hope we can all earn that break and make sure we take care of business next week.
We are GD!!
