New Semester & Report Card Distribution

We began the second semester last week, and our students are off to a great start. We continue to need your help in these areas:

Regular and on-time attendance: On-time attendance matters! Students need to be in school by 7:40 a.m. at the latest. Each class period matters, and being present for the full instructional time helps students stay on track academically and socially.

Student IDs: Students must have their physical ID with them every day and show it as they enter the building. If they need a replacement, they need to go to room 1003 before school and/or lunch.

Getting support when needed: Students are encouraged to seek help from teachers, counselors, and support staff whenever they need academic or emotional support.

Managing electronics: Students should be mindful of school expectations for device use and only use electronics (such as their cellphones) before school, during transition times, lunch, and after school.

Report Card Distribution

  • Report Cards have been available on ParentVue & StudentVue since February 6th.
  • Student Transcripts will be available on ParentVue & StudentVue on February 10th.
  • Copies of Report Cards will be distributed to students on Thursday, February 12th.

Students and parents/guardians will receive notification in the document section in both StudentVue and ParentVue the week of January 20th to review the legal name to ensure it is spelled correctly. If the name is accurately represented on the notification, then no action is required. If a change is requested, the student must see our registrar, Ms. AnneMarie Walker by Friday, March 6th.

Students may choose the way in which they would prefer their name on the diploma. Please note the options available:

  • Full legal name
