Academics 

AP test registration information for parents of students currently taking AP courses.

Remind students about social media repercussions.  Most of us are familiar with Facebook & Twitter, & many know about Instagram & Vine; however, the list of new social media & websites grows each day. New anonymous image boards are cropping up on social media. These sites are blocked by school networks, but the pictures (some of them inappropriate) could make their way to school, causing rumors & distractions or, worse, legal issues because of the nature of the posts. Use this as an opportunity to talk to your student about the significance of social media posts & text messages & the repercussions. Let's work together to keep the content of these sites out of our school.


Let us know how we are doing.  Take the parent perception survey when you log in to the parent portal.
