Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

It has certainly been a wild week of weather! We have seen a bit of everything—heavy rain, hail, and now, finally, a bit of spring sunshine.

As we settle into the season, we want to inform you that third-quarter grades will be posted in Skyward Family Access on April 22nd.
Please keep in mind that 3rd-quarter grades are a "snapshot in time." They are intended to serve as a mid-semester progress report and are not officially recorded on a student's permanent transcript.

This is an ideal time to review your student’s progress. If needed, we encourage you and your student to reach out to teachers with any questions regarding their current performance or to discuss strategies for improvement before the end of the semester.

How to Access Grades To view your student’s progress in Skyward, please follow these steps.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your student's education.
Best,
Ruth Medsker
