Midterms: 1/18-1/21
Good evening,
I hope you had an enjoyable three-day weekend. Winter is certainly here with the cold, but it appears we avoided what could have been a major winter event with this morning's rainstorm. I’m ok with that.
We go into a shortened school week with half day dismissals each day for school Semester course finals and yearlong course midterms. Students are reminded to support their preparations for their assessments with healthy eating and sleeping habits.
Hoping the three-day weekend, the upcoming half days and continued adherence to mask wearing and COVID safety precautions will continue to maintain our learning environment. Everyone doing their part makes a difference. Keep at it…Spartan Strong!
Have a good week!

National Honor Society / Application Process
|
Recently, some decisions have been made about the practices of the National Honor Society and what is in the best interest of our students. This includes how and when student GPAs are calculated in order to qualify for the 4.1 GPA requirement. We have shifted the timeline of when this calculation occurs to after the first semester of Junior and Senior year. We believe this will provide a more accurate report of the current GPA, taking into consideration the rigorous schedule in which many students are currently enrolled. The goal of this shift creates an equitable process for our students that allows us to best acknowledge their achievements. After students are identified based upon the 4.1 GPA requirement they will receive an electronic letter inviting them to start the process of joining the National Honor Society. Students will then complete the application process which is based upon how they have met the criteria for the four pillars identified by the constitution of the National Honor Society. These four pillars are scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The application will ask students to provide evidence of these pillars in their daily life as well as a written personal statement addressing how they embody these four pillars. |
