February Newsletter

 From the Principal's Office:

During Semester 1 our school community established goals around attendance, tardies and academic success and part of our School Improvement Plan.  Each month of the semester we monitored our progress, encouraged each other, and created accountabilities that we hoped would translate into success.  Our Student Leadership Team created an incentive if we met our goals, and we have!  Next Thursday, February 15th, our students earned an extended lunch.  This incentive can be earned each month if we meet our targets.  See below our data closing out Semester 1.  We are particularly encouraged by the performance of our freshmen class.  93% of our 146 freshmen passed all their classes!  Of course, the goal is that 100% of our students are successful in their courses, and we need your support to help make that happen.  We will continue with these goals in Semester 2, with the added goals for performance in our state testing in Math, Literacy and Science.
