Hello students and parents! Summer season is beginning NOW! Summertime is when we see a downtick in attendance as people go on vacations or take on more family activities while school is out of session. As you practice at home, inspect your goals and review your progress daily. Extra curricular activities can sometimes be hard to keep up with if you don't have a routine to support learning, retention, and performance.
The following are some important dates to remember. Each announcement is tagged with a program to help our members know which items are most important to them. Don't forget to check our Class Schedule as well as the whiteboards in the school for class plans, announcements, and schedules.
Encourage your student(s) to know dates important to them so they are able to set goals appropriate to their progress.
