This week is the National Red Ribbon Week!
All of our schools will be doing activities this week to recognize this year's theme- "Celebrate Life, Live Drug Free."


Our first run of our new report card system has unsuccessfully calculated GPA for several students. This primarily impacted students in advanced 5 point classes and students in satisfactory/unsatisfactory classes that were not set to exclude from GPA. If you suspect your child's report card was not correct, please contact the school for a revised copy.
