Please enjoy this extended weekend with an American federal holiday marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. This holiday celebrates the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr., an influential American civil rights leader. He is most well-known for his campaigns to end racial segregation on public transport and for racial equality in the United States.
Now that we have finished up the first semester, we begin semester number 2 on Wednesday. Report cards for the 1st semester will be distributed on Thursday January 30. Please make sure you are monitoring your student's attendance and academics on the Parent Portal. Directions and access can be found on the school's website.
Mark your calendars... Monday, February 3rd, 6:30-8:00 pm - Walk the schedule night!
We have a 20 minute homeroom on the first day of the 2nd semester. Students should report to their homeroom to make sure they have the most updated schedule. Homeroom will be 8:10-8:30 (1st block starts at 8:35 - all other bells remain the same)
All students must use the OneCard system starting on Wednesday. If students are arriving from GTCC, Weaver, etc, students must report to attendance and swipe in at the attendance office.
Please remind your student of the school's dress code. All students should be in dress code before the first bell rings. If they do not have the proper dress code on, they can ask for assistance before the day starts. The dress code can be found on the school's website. Thank you for assisting us with these expectation.

A big welcome to our newest staff members Jeff Aguiar, our new Theatre Arts teacher, Kelly Flournoy school nurse, Ms. Zulema Silva, Spanish teacher, and Mr. Tony Spates, EC TA, (D136) working with Mrs. Nadeau. Please give our new staff members a big Cowboy/Cowgirl welcome!
Schedules:
If students want to inquire about schedule changes, they have from January 22nd - January 28th. They MUST fill out a schedule change form during this time. They will be able to turn in forms BEFORE and AFTER school OR DURING lunch. The counselors will only give priority to new students, students missing courses and/or have repeated a class. Students/parents should not come to office and wait unless scheduled to do so. Everyone must follow the process.
Registration for SW for the 2020-2021 will take place February 10 - February 21. Counselors will meet with each student in English classes during that time. The counselors met with students who were scheduled in Fall English classes already.
The registration portal will open up February 15th - February 23rd. During that time, students will be allowed to select courses for the 2020-2021 school year. More information will follow.
