Final Exams (also known as Interims) will be given building-wide this week. These assessments are created by teachers and will be completed in one class period, so we will follow our normal schedule throughout the week. See below for which test will be given on each day:
- Monday 5/10: ELA
- Tuesday 5/11: Math

- Thursday 5/13: 2nd Connections

Credit Recovery
All students still have the opportunity to turn in missing assignments from every quarter throughout this entire school year! If a student is not passing a class for the year at this point, families can contact their child's teacher(s) to learn more about credit recovery opportunities.
As only students who are passing all of their core classes for the year (an overall grade of 70 or above) will be invited to participate in the Promotion Ceremony, please be sure to check Infinite Campus to ensure that your child is in good academic standing!
There will also be a special event held during the last week of school for students with all A's this year...👀🤫

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.
