Mid year reflection

As we approach the middle of this school year, it is an appropriate time to reflect on academic progress. If you and your student are pleased with their status, that is excellent. If however you see a need for improvement, now could be the time to consider redirection regarding study habits and responsibility.

The Counselors wish you all a restful , re-energizing and happy winter break and look forward to working with you in January.
