As we move into our last week of school before Winter Break, we would like to share some reminders and other information before we finish our first semester:
Students will be taking summative assessments for their classes between December 15th and December 17th. Please be sure they are well-rested, in attendance, and ready to do their best!
December 18th will consist of assessment retakes, course reflection, and other end-of-the-semester activities taking place in classrooms. Students will also be notified if they met the Incentive Day criteria which includes having a C or higher in all classes.
December 19th will be the last day of classes and the students will be on a shortened schedule that day with dismissal at 10:52am. Students meeting the incentive are not required to attend school on December 19th.
School will resume for students on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026.
