Principal's Message

  • Parents & Guardians

    As you may recall, one year ago, we announced our new grading system, FOCUS and that we are going paperless. Well the time is here, we are now paperless! FSA Test Scores and Reports will be available on FOCUS Parent Portal account for you to view, beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, July 10, 2019.  Report cards, Test Assessment Data, and/or Honor Roll Certificates will not be printed in a hard copy format. After today, this information will be available for you to retrieve and view at your leisure.  To view final report cards, select Report Card. To view test assessment data, select Test History. Parents/Guardians, once you have retrieved your child’s report card, in the top right corner, under the subheading Message you will be able to view your child’s status, “Student is P-Academically Promoted” or Student is R-Retained in same Grade”.  If you have any questions about your child’s report card, please e-mail Dr. Deborah Barnes, Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Attendance.

     

    We are working on students’ schedules for the upcoming school year.  Once we have completed scheduling, we will notify you, via listserv.  We will not print or mail student's schedules.  Schedules will be available to view in FOCUS Parent Portal upon notification.

     

    Sincerely, 

    Douglas Cook,

    Principal
