Hello Class of 2027 Families!

Well, we made it through their first year of high school. As we approach sophomore year, hopefully everyone has a better understanding of all the high school expectations. Make sure your student is checking for summer homework, especially in any AP classes they may be taking next year. It's also a great time to work on those community service hours, just be sure to keep track of them all.

I hope everyone has a great summer!
