Principal's Message
Greetings,
We’ve made it through our first full week of fully in person instruction! We have continued to navigate technology glitches associated with the password reset, but we are finally in a good place and all students should be able to access their school accounts and Schoology.
Our counselors hosted two senior meetings this week and all of the useful information that they presented will be available in the Class of 2022 Schoology group as well as on the Senior website.
As we are getting into the swing of things, please encourage your students to ask for help if they feel like they are confused or falling behind. The best place to start is with teachers, but you can also ask for assistance from our school counselors and administrators. We are here to help and we want to make this school year a successful one.
Thank you for sharing your students with us each and every day! It is a joy to have them all back in the building!
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,
Lisa Smith
