Good morning Trojan Family,
Today begins Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, and I hope you will join me in celebrating our amazing teachers and staff. A small gift, and most importantly, a kind word, will go a long way in showing appreciation for all they do each day for our students.
🎓 Algebra I EOC (Gifted & Advanced Content)
Our Gifted and Advanced Content students will take the Algebra I EOC tomorrow.
Please wish them well as they prepare to perform at a high level—let’s go for 100% for three years in a row!

📘 Yearbooks – Last Call!
Yearbooks are now on sale!
A yearbook is more than just a collection of pictures—it captures memories, friendships, achievements, and special moments from the school year. It becomes a keepsake students can look back on for years to come.

⚠️ Behavior Expectations
Please speak with your student about their behavior during these final days of school.
Students sometimes believe that consequences no longer apply at the end of the year, but that is not the case.
All rules and expectations remain in effect until students return home on May 20.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing this message at home.
