We are excited to announce this year's National Junior Honor Society officers! These students are leaders in our school and community, and we are excited to see what this group will accomplish this year!
7th & 8th grade families: Your student is being asked to participate in a short survey named the Integrated Community Engagement Collaborative Youth Survey. This survey will help us understand what life is like for students in our community: what they enjoy, what they wish was different, and whether they feel supported by the people around them. The survey will help us understand what students in 7th-12th grades are experiencing and what they are exposed to in their communities. Their answers are anonymous, and their responses cannot be traced back to them in any way. The information they share will help counties apply for grants that fund programs, activities, and opportunities for youth. Please find the attached Parent Letter with more information about the survey - we also sent this home with students last week. Every student who participates in the survey will be entered in a drawing to win an iPad.
8th grade families - please don't forget to send your student's permission slip for the CTE trip Thursday back by tomorrow!! This is a great trip that exposes students to the programs available at the CTE building!
