"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." – Robert Collier
It’s hard to believe, but we are already halfway through Semester 2! Time seems to be flying, and we want to take a moment to recognize the progress—big and small—that our students have made so far. As always, we are so proud of the dedication, resilience, and growth we see in each learner.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, a few important updates to keep on your radar:
- Course selection and confirmations of schedules for 2025-26 continue at each campus. As this is done individually, this will continue well into late May. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
- Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences will take place April 23–24, and bookings are now open. These conferences are a valuable opportunity to reflect on successes, set goals, and strengthen the partnership between home and school.
- Our final hybrid School Advisory Meeting of the year is scheduled for April 29. Everyone is welcome! Your voice helps shape the direction of our school, and we would love to see you there as we reflect on this year and look ahead to the next.
As we say around here, “Small steps are still progress.” Whether your student is confidently striding forward or carefully stepping ahead, each move matters. Let’s keep walking together toward a strong finish.
Principal Mr. B. Spady, Assistant Principal's Mrs. D. Bennett & Mrs. K. Porter
