A Messsage from the Principal

- Alberta O'Brien

I hope that everyone is having a summer filled with relaxation and fun experiences. Enclosed, there is the yearly academic calendar. Please use the dates on the calendar to schedule trips and vacations during the school year. It is important that the students have very few interruptions to their studies. It will be updated throughout the school year on the website, in addition, to the students’ monthly calendars. Please ask your child for the calendars.

Don’t forget that along with academics, we encourage students to join extracurricular activities like, sports teams (varsity and junior varsity), Spanish club, Promethean Reader, Yearbook, Prom Committee, Drama Club, Choir, Drumline, Student Council, and Art Club. Remember that students with good academics and behavior can be nominated for the Oversees Trip or North Carolina Outward Bound. This is the first year of our participation in the Puerto Rican Day Parade and anyone interested should contact Ms. Colon.

We will continue to use a computer system this year called Power School for grading. Parents and students are able to access the system and see grading and attendance each day. Parents are able to check homework, test and quiz grades without delay. The school will provide students and parents with a log in and password. Parents are able to set up the account to send email alerts from the school.

I hope that everyone has a productive new school year,
