Senior Legacy Projects Make An Ongoing Difference The Senior Legacy Project is not just about filling a community service hours requirement but thinking deeply about making an ongoing difference in the lives of others. This spring, while the seniors should have been wrapping up their projects, each one faced the additional unexpected challenge of how to finish the work they had started back in the fall.
The PTF wants to extend an enormous "Thank You" to our teachers during May 6-15. Normally, we provide teachers and staff with lunch and tasty snacks during the week but this is not a typical year. We know many of our families appreciate their teachers and want to do something special for them. This opportunity is optional and completely voluntary, but if you would like to reach out to your teachers, here are a couple of ways you can communicate with them. If you do not see your teacher's name on this list, please reach out to them by email to express your thanks. An email or a handwritten note from you or your student is always appreciated. If you would like additional ideas of what a teacher may enjoy, Guide Your Gifts contains a list of some of their favorite things. NEW Semester two report cards will be released via an email from Samantha Crump on Fri, May 22 after 2 p.m. Please follow these instructions for accessing report cards:

NEW If you checked out the 2020-21 Book List before Fri, May 8, it may have looked a little differently than it does now.

Thank you! NEW Although just a brief snapshot of a student's academic performance on two days of the entire school year, it is our hope that parents find the results informative and helpful in further understanding their child's academic progress. We anticipate sending CTP score reports for grades 3 and 6-8 to parents in June. Grades 4 & 5 have been issued a $50 credit on their family account since they were unable to participate in testing due to COVID-19. Help the school be ready to impress for 2020-21.
