Weekly Updates
Good afternoon,
We are looking forward to finally having another full week of classes! While the snow days are certainly nice every once and awhile, we also know that we miss connecting and teaching our students on those days.
Please continue to help check your child's grades, especially as we near the end of the 3rd quarter (officially ending on March 12th). With just two and a half weeks of school days left, the time will pass quickly.
As always, please be sure to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Shane Hartley
Principal, Deer Park Jr/Sr High School

GRADES FOR REMOTE LEARNING ACADEMY (RLA) STUDENTS:
Third quarter ends on March 12th. However, the last day to turn in assignments for the 3rd quarter will be WEDNESDAY, MARTH 10TH AT MIDNIGHT. Whatever your grade is at that time will be your 3rd quarter grade on your report card. Additionally, 2nd semester grades will be calculated the same way they were calculated in the 1st semester, and final grades in year-long courses will be an average of 1st semester and 2nd semester grades.
MOBILE DENTIST UPDATE
