FinalStretchUpdates
With the second half of the school year underway, we are beginning to wrap up Youth Apprenticeship requirements for seniors
QuarterlyEvaluations
Second quarter evaluations were sent out January 22, 2026!
If a first quarter evaluation was completed and everything was in good standing, a second quarter review may not be necessary. If one was not returned earlier this year, we will ensure it is completed now.
Students will receieve an email when it is time to review and sign their evaluation.
