Message from the President

Spring is here and not a moment too soon!!  Hopefully the nicer temps are here to stay.  Spring sports are in full swing (pun intended) and it’s almost Spring Break!!  I’m sure the students and staff are counting down the days!!

On St. Patrick’s Day, the PTSA Hospitality Team hosted a 3rd quarter end teacher/staff appreciation dessert grazing table. It was a lovely time, and we hope our teachers/staff were able to enjoy yummy treats as the 3rd quarter wraps up!

At our meeting last week, Dr. Aye was joined by Asst. Principal Berneatta Barnes, Asst. Principal Troy Ketch, Director of Student Services Ashley Anderson, SRO Patrick Talbott, and Region 5 Executive Principal Chad Lehman.

Saturday School Dates

Saturday School

 

Saturday School will return after spring break, April 11. 

What is Saturday School?

Picture a relaxed setting where students can catch up on subjects or ask questions without the usual class rush. Saturday School provides a calm atmosphere for focused learning. If students are feeling overwhelmed with assignments, Saturday School is an excellent time to seek assistance. Teachers will be available to guide them through challenging classwork. This is a great way for students to take advantage of this extra time, recover some of their course work and attendance concerns. 

Please see the dates for the rest of the year:   

April 11, 18, 25

May 2, 9, 16, 23

June 6 

These dates may change, so keep an eye on this space for changes!
