UPDATE

The slides and FAQs from Dr. Pelham’s March 7 presentation are available to view/download below.

From Dr. Pelham:

As you may have heard, MNPS zoned high schools will be moving to a different type of daily schedule next year that looks different from our 8 period A/B schedule. While there are still many variables that are yet to be finalized, we do have some advanced information we would like to share with families now, and welcome your thoughts and questions. We will have a stakeholder meeting on Thursday, March 7 [NEW DATE], at 6 PM in our cafeteria.  Our goal is to share what we know now, solicit questions and thoughts, and publish an FAQ from this.  All are welcome.

Restock the Classrooms for Second Semester! January 9, 2024

As our teachers return from winter break, they are likely finding their classrooms in need of crucial winter supplies like Kleenex, Clorox wipes, and hand sanitizer–not to mention actual school supplies too. We don’t want teachers to have to spend their own money on supplies, so parent donations are very helpful. If you are able, please go to this Amazon wish list and kick in an item or two.
