We have made it through the first marking period of the year. Student performance at the elementary level was very good and about 50 percent of our secondary students achieved at the merit, honor or emerald level. We have another handful of students whose performance did not miss the mark by much so we are all hopeful that these students will push a little harder over the next couple of months so we can recognize their efforts and achievements at our next awards ceremony. We have 19 of our elementary students and 11 secondary students with perfect attendance for the first marking period. We celebrated our secondary student success at our awards ceremony and honors breakfast on November 26th. Students were recognized for their academic achievements and perfect attendance. We also recognized two students of the quarter. Luke West was the Student of the Quarter for grades 7-8. Kali Hayes was the Student of the Quarter for grades 9-12.

I want to remind all of our parents that you are welcome and encouraged, to request a conference at any time of the year – not just on the regularly scheduled date at the mid-year point. If you prefer not to schedule a full conference, you can always contact your child’s teacher(s) by email, or by calling the school and leaving a message. I have asked teachers to contact parents if they have specific concerns about student performance that were not included in the grade report.
