Hello Firebird Families,

We started 2nd semester on a strong note and want to continue with that great momentum. With the winter delay, report cards will be passed out in homeroom on Monday.

Monday through Thursday this week, we will report directly to homeroom at the first bell. The exception to this rule is on your child’s grade-level meeting day. That grade level will report directly to the big gym. Grade Level Meetings are as follows:

  • Monday - 12th graders

  • Tuesday - 9th graders

  • Wednesday - 10th graders

  • Thursday - 11th graders

Non-reporting and CCP students should report the first 5 days of school to homeroom (Thorugh next Thursday). These students are expected to attend homeroom sessions each week unless otherwise noted by a counselor or school leader.

Also please check out our school district’s proposed calendars and share with our parent representatives any feedback. Please note the current shift to the calendar (1st semester ending in January) is due to balancing the two semesters and State Policy requirements about when traditional schools can start.  Proposed Calendar Information
