Today High school results were given out. Your child must return the form by Friday April 4 in order to guarantee a spot. If you are going to a Catholic High School you still must return the form stating you are not interested in saving a spot. If you want to appeal the decision a parent must write me a note and I will send in the form home with your child. Any questions feel free to email me!!
I hope everyone had a restful, productive, and safe vacation. We are in the final semester of the year and there is still a lot to be done.
