Where Has the Year Gone?

The MS and HS blogs are the same, so if you have a child at both levels, you do not need to read both.

Where has the year gone? We are almost half way through the third trimester and seven weeks away from the end of the year, yet there is much learning and many activities that will be packed into that time. Right now through Saturday, several of our middle school and high school students are competing at the TSA state competition. Several of our high school students are participating in baseball, lacrosse, and track as well as rehearsing for the CCS presentation of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

We are presently working on setting up the master schedule for next year at both the HS and MS levels. For HS, the course selection sheets should be given to students somewhere around the middle of May. More information for the MS schedule will also come out around that time. We will also be holding a scheduling evening meeting for incoming 9th grade students and their parents


As often happens with the change of seasons into spring and the approach of the end of a school year, students can lose their focus on academics. I encourage you to continue to check ParentsWeb regularly for your student’s grades as well as assignments. What your child is doing in class and when assignments are due can be found under “Lesson Plan” for each class. Also, I encourage you to ask your child to see his/her Google Classroom accounts for each of the core subjects. There you will be able to more specifically see the work that has been assigned, as well as other classroom information. If you have a question or concern about a class, please contact the teacher.
