Principal's Corner
Dear Parents and Community Members,
Happy Friday! Well, it is officially March… which means we are down to 2 months left of school. In fact, as of today we only have 40 school days left. Even though we are down to so little time left in the school year, there is a lot that happens over the next couple of months: spring sports, field trips, ACT/Accuplacer/MAP testing, prom, senior trip, and so much more!
Quarter 3 ends next Friday, March 8. Grade cards will be sent out the following week; however, you can always login to the parent portal through Infinite Campus to check student grades. If you have any questions or concerns regarding student grades, please reach out to your student’s teacher.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out. My door is always open and I am always willing to help however I can. Stay safe and warm out there – hopefully we see more of the beautiful 80* weather that was here this week soon!
Sincerely,
Kyla Kirtley
Principal
