SOPHOMORE MEETINGS are next week!  Parents are invited to join their student during English class on March 11 or 12 (click here for schedule times and locations). Students will receive a transcript and GPA for the first time and we will break down that document; we will review PSAT scores from October and discuss how to make use of those scores. We will review surveys in Naviance that students have taken to gain insight into possible careers, and we will discuss college admissions, including how to use Naviance as a tool to explore colleges. Are there topics you hope we cover? Or questions you'd like us to answer? Fill out this form and we will do our best to incorporate them.

Senior Class of 2020!

All seniors will be participating in our annual “Senior Service Day” by volunteering their time throughout the community on the same day, at the same time.  This is a required activity on April 9th. 

Monday, March 23rd, your child will get the sign up information emailed to them.  Spots at each agency are limited.  Those that don’t sign up, will be placed at agencies with open spots.  All communication will be sent through Naviance. 

Be prepared to have fun!  Students have really enjoyed this activity in the past!
