The Importance of Attendance & Staying Healthy

As we navigate the winter flu season, we want to remind you of the importance of regular school attendance. Every day counts, and showing up is essential for your child’s social and academic growth.

Thank you for your support in balancing health and education!

It’s opening night for Bradley Theater’s “Marian, or the True Tale of Robin Hood”!

This play by Adam Szymkowicz reimagines the classic Robin Hood legend with a surprising twist. Instead of the familiar male hero, it’s Maid Marian who leads the “Merry Men” in their fight against the corrupt Prince John. Marian, disguised as a man, steals from the wealthy and redistributes the riches to the impoverished people of Sherwood Forest.

The play delves into themes of gender roles, social justice, and the importance of self-discovery as Marian navigates her true identity while leading her band of rebels against oppression. This unique adaptation of the Robin Hood story is specifically written for teenage actors and offers a fresh perspective on this beloved legend.

Please start talking to your students about their class choices to ensure they are making the best decisions about the classes they are scheduling. As we begin to build the building schedule for the 2025-2026 school year, it is essential that our students make informed scheduling decisions.

Grades will be available on January 14th. Please review your child’s grades and discuss strengths and areas of improvement to set goals for the third quarter. Take time to celebrate your child’s successes and continue to work with his/her respective teachers to achieve any improvement that needs to take place. This is also an excellent time to re-emphasize your expectations for your child for the remainder of the year.

Have a great weekend, and Go Jags!!!
