Additionally, we also wanted to talk a bit about the second semester. It will be a fresh start for all students. If your student has been struggling academically or there are concerns about their academic progress, please encourage them to reach out to their counselor and teachers. We want to do our best to work in supporting our students' access and engagement in high quality, systemic, tiered and personalized support academically, behaviorally and social emotionally.

We have additional after school support with Ms. Micki every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Ms. Micki is willing to meet individually with students to map out an academic plan. Please encourage your student to email her for support. micki.miller@sultan.k12.wa.us

On February 6th, we will have class meetings with the Freshman and Sophomore classes to go over time management.

To our supportive families, thank you for your unwavering encouragement and partnership in shaping the success of our students. Your involvement is instrumental in fostering a thriving educational environment. Wishing you all a wonderful conclusion to semester one and a promising start to the second half of the year!
