From the Principal's Office:
I met with our Student Leadership Team and our Building Leadership Team in November to celebrate our Schoolwide Data Points (below) and discuss how we could get our student body involved and invested in these goals. Students were excited about the idea of earning an "Extended Lunch" in December if we met our goals.
Student Incentives for Meeting Schoolwide Goals
Attendance – Rate of >93%
- Sept. 91.3
- Oct. 93.71
Tardies - - Rate of <10 tardies/day
- Sept. 6.9
- Oct. 6.9
D/Fs – Rate of less than 20% of students w/ D/F by end of month
- Sept. 26%
- Oct. 15%
As we move toward the Holiday Break, it's critical that students set academic goals leading up to vacation aligned to our building goals. We have 6 weeks left in the semester and being in school, on time to class and producing and submitting quality work.
Only 7 Seconds - In November we hosted an assembly by "Only 7 Seconds", a local organization committed to addressing feelings of lonliness that often precede or deepen depression. The message that "You are not alone" is fundamental to our school community and our commitment to fostering a sense of belonging in our student body. We are extending the learning from the assembly in advisory during December, towards a Connection Challenge going into the holidays in support school community and student wellness.
From the School Counselors Office:

The college recruiter visits have ended as seniors are now completing college applications. Students please watch your application due dates list as each college has their own deadlines.
