Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,
I want to thank all of you for your help this week. During our first three days of school our students have done an amazing job of making the start of the 2022-2023 school year memorable.
I would like to thank all of the freshmen parents who had an opportunity to attend the new parent meeting last week. If you did not have an opportunity to attend freshman parent night you can access the freshmen parent powerpoint.
This week we held class meetings with our students to discuss expectations, class goals, and create an overall plan for a successful school year and future.
Come out tonight to support our football team as they play their first road game against Olentangy Berlin. Tickets are $7 for adults and $7 for students. Sports passes are also available through the athletic website. The game will kick off at 7:00pm.
Have a great weekend and Go Jags!
