Monday, September 8th - First Day of School!
We're excited to see all of our students for the first day of school in just a few short days! Students will log into the link provided by their teacher and
follow the schedule provided HERE!
Just a reminder: students will earn a numerical grade in each class based on their completed assignments! Classes are not Pass/Fail like they were in the spring. PLEASE reach out to your child's teacher if you have any concerns.
Remember: Fridays are virtual!
Students will have no specific class times for Friday. Students will check in with their teacher if they need one-on-one support and use the day to catch up on classwork!
Have a question about your student's schedule?
You can email your student's homeroom teacher (email addresses are below) or call the front office and leave a message. We'll help you as soon as possible!

How can I support my student?
You are the most important person in helping your student succeed, and we want you to partner with us so we can help students be as successful as possible.
Help your student establish a routine that includes a consistent bedtime wake up time.
Help them establish a consistent place to work during class with a table/desk.
Help your student find a consistent place for school materials so they always know where their materials are. Help them organize their materials and/or papers for each class.
Headphones will be very helpful if there is more than one student attending class.
