PARENTS
PARENTS USING REMIND APP – We’re sorry to write with disappointing news. Recently, we learned that Verizon will be charging Remind a new fee that makes it impossible for us to continue supporting free text messaging for anyone who has Verizon Wireless as their phone carrier. Beginning January 28, 2019, students & parents who normally get your Remind messages as texts will no longer receive these messages if they have Verizon Wireless as their phone carrier. What can you do? To make sure you continue receiving your messages, download the mobile app or enable email notifications—both of which are free of charge. Please download the mobile app so that you will still be able to receive information regarding your students classes. We will provide any updates that we receive from REMIND.
JUNIOR & SOPHOMORE PARENTS- We still need 10 more students in order to offer the Kaplan SAT Prep class, starting in February on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The class will end the week before the on-campus SAT exam for juniors on March 6th. Because there is a reduced cost to this class ($360), we will need 25 students to register – first priority is given to juniors. Registration closes on January 22nd or when we reach the required number of 25 students – see attached flyer.
PARENTS- We do not accept drop off/forgotten items in the front office. If you need to get an item to your student, please coordinate with your child to meet in the school office during break or lunch. We will not be able to make exceptions. We appreciate your understanding.
