We are heading into the final weeks of school, so please be sure that you have marked your calendar with our finals schedule FINALS and please refer to Tips for the final weeks of school:
Students should be spending time with teachers before or after school as frequently as possible.
All homework/classwork needs to be turned in on time for the remainder of the semester to earn full credit and recover previous low grades.
If there are missing assignments listed in Canvas that can still be turned in for credit, students need to get these completed and turned in to teachers as soon as possible to recover any potential credit.
Many teachers will have study sessions or study guides leading up to final exams. Students should be attending each study session and completing all study guides.
Here is a link for study strategies in each content area.
Here is a link to teacher office hours & tutoring options.
Junior High Google Chat
Due to continued misuse of the google chat feature in student jajags accounts, the Junior High google chat function has been disabled for the remainder of the school year. The High School accounts still have google chat capabilities. In addition, we highly encourage parents to be monitoring social media accounts to ensure all students are treating others with kindness and respect.
