Principal Nassivera sent home a letter encouraging families and students to finish strong in the final months of the school year. 

Here a few school tips from Principal Nassivera: 

Attendance Matters 

Show up on time, every day. (It's practice for your future success!) Limit absences to true emergencies and communicate with staff if your student needs help with attendance. 


Grades Can Still Improve

We still have time! The final quarter is an excellent opportunity for students to raise their grades and end the school year with a sense of pride. Talk with teachers, take advantage of extra help and review each week what's ahead and the feedback teachers provide. 


Finishing Strong

The habits students build now - dedication, persistence, and follow-through; will serve them well beyond this school year. Check in regularly with their progress; create a quiet corner of your home for study and homework, and celebrate any progress with encouraging words. 

Please reach out to a teacher, guidance or the principal or review the free resources on the Community School page for many free resources for families and students.
