Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members: 

While we continue to long for more days filled with sunshine and warmth, this second week of May opened the door for what’s to come. Traditionally, this month challenges our students to remain focused, continue to make positive choices, and to finish the year off strong...academically, behaviorally, and socially.  It is a time when the weather really improves, students are outside more, and the days get longer. 

 

I am confident, with encouragement, support, and structure, that our students will continue to be successful and have a phenomenal end to the school year! Continue to positively encourage your students, support them, and communicate with their teachers when you need help, clarification, or simply an update on their progress towards success.  

 

Also, If you haven’t already done so, check out our main parking lot/library window upgrade. 😊

Read below for additional amazing opportunities and important news for students and parents. Please let me know if you have any questions.
