Dear Secondary School Families:
Happy Friday! A reminder to our families that quarter 2 grades will be available on the parent portal by this afternoon. Please review and reach out to your child’s teachers or counselor if you have any questions. We appreciate your continued support at home with regular attendance, work completion, organization, study habits, etc… I’ve attached a link to a short digital resource containing tips on how parents/guardians can support success in school. Speaking for my own household, #10 is one we try to prioritize every evening at dinner with our children.

“SOUPer Bowl”: Thank you to the PTSA for organizing the 5th annual SOUPer Bowl! This is a much appreciated opportunity to say “thank you” to our dedicated staff including bus drivers, custodians, secretaries, cafeteria monitors, teachers, etc.. Please consider sponsoring a staff members lunch and leaving a very special message of thanks (which will be shared when they pick up their lunch on 2/11/22).

I can’t pass up the opportunity to mention that Wednesday is also Groundhog Day. While I am not a big believer in the power of this rodent, I do like the thought of an early spring. If he does have Nostradamus-like skills, I am hoping he doesn’t see his shadow!
Sincerely,
Ken Rizzo
Secondary School Principal
