Autism Awareness Week 4/28-5/2 April is Autism Awareness month! Help us promote acceptance and inclusion for all Panthers this week with a special spirit week!

Seat Time As we approach the conclusion of the school year, it will be beneficial for parents to review your Panther’s attendance. To earn credit for each course, students must be “in the seat” more than 70% of the instructional time. If your student missed a class more than 26 times this school year, they MAY NOT earn the credit for the class. Students can remain after school (Monday-Thursday 4:00 - 5:30) and/or attend Saturday school (9:00 - 12:00) to recoup the missed time. See Mrs. Ryan for additional information. | |
SOL Testing Students will participate in the Science SOL on Wednesday. We will operate in a Secure Testing Environment during the testing window from 9:00 - 12:55.
Congratulations in advance! | |
