Dear Students and Families,

As we wrap up the first semester, we want to extend appreciation for how hard our students have been working.  Attending online school requires perseverance, independence, and advocacy.  We are proud of our students for their commitment this semester! In addition, we appreciate all the partnerships we have formed with parents and families to ensure your student’s success.  

We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Winter Break! We look forward to classes resuming on January 3rd!

Student Awards and Recognition

• As we wrap up the 2022 year, we want to take time to celebrate all the hard work and perseverance students have shown, specifically for students who were with us for the first part of this calendar year, Spring 2022.  We will have other celebrations in mind coming next semester to celebrate Fall 2022!

• Online learning requires commitment, independence, organization, and communication.  In all of our grades, we have seen students step-up and excel.

• We feel it is important to celebrate our students who have excelled academically.   Here is a website honoring all of our students from the Spring 2022 semester– check it out to see if your student’s name is on there! 

• For students who made the Honor Roll, please pick up your certificate in our main office.  We are proud of you!
