Student Success During Exam Week
As exam days approach next week, we are excited to support our students by offering expanded breakfast options to help them start each day ready to succeed. Our Food Service team will provide a Big Breakfast beginning at 7:20 a.m., before classes start, ensuring students have access to a nutritious meal to fuel their learning. For students who may need an additional boost, a Second Chance Breakfast will be available from 9:25–9:30 a.m. This option allows students another opportunity to refuel and stay focused throughout the morning. We wish all of our students the best of luck on their exams. Proper nutrition plays an important role in concentration, energy, and performance, and we are proud to make these meals available to support student success. Thank you for partnering with us to help students finish the exam period strong!

New Raptor Visitor Management System
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe and secure learning environments, we are excited to announce the implementation of the Raptor Visitor Management System beginning this school year. This new system will replace our traditional paper sign-in process and provide a more effective way to monitor and track visitors, volunteers, and guests on campus.

When visiting our school, guests will check in at the front office by presenting a government-issued photo ID. The Raptor system will:

  • Instantly screen IDs against public sex offender databases.
  • Maintain an accurate and secure record of all campus visitors.
  • Print a visitor badge with the guest’s name, photo, and date for easy identification while on school grounds.

For those wishing to volunteer, please remember that a district background check is required annually in addition to the Raptor sign-in process. To begin this step, simply bring your photo ID to the front office.

We appreciate your support in helping us strengthen campus safety. With your partnership, we can ensure a safe learning environment for every student.

LEARNING

Our Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
