Attention Parents
On January 10th we held meetings with our seniors where we reviewed some important information related to graduation. Your senior obtained the relevant documentation and a form that requires signatures from the student and parent. If your senior has not discussed this meeting with you yet, please inquire about it as soon as possible. We would appreciate it if you could sign the forms and have them returned to your student's English teacher at your earliest convenience.
Does your student need a little extra help with their school work?
