Hello Clipper Families,

I want to commend all our grade 10 and 11 students for displaying hard work and perseverance while taking today’s PSAT exam.  In a few months, the guidance department will help them understand their results and how it relates to college and career readiness skills.  Our teachers will also use the results to reflect on our curriculum to help strengthen student skill development. 

Alongside the sophomores and juniors, I want to acknowledge our grade 9 students in the activities they took on today.  The freshmen were organized by their guidance counselor assignments.  They had the opportunity to work with their counseling team and participated in team building activities. They additionally took a baseline assessment in math and ELA which will be used by their teachers to plan upcoming lessons. 

In review of the senior sign-ups from today, many took advantage of the day to visit a college and a large number also elected to come to the building and work with our grade 12 English teachers to receive help on their college applications and essays. 

SCHOOL SAFETY DRILL REMINDER

Also, as a reminder, tomorrow the whole school will participate in a safety drill.  I’m appreciative of the partnership we have with the city’s first responders as they help ensure we have a safe place for our students and staff. 

Have a great night and Go Clippers!
