End of Year Activities and Privileges
As the 2023/24 school year comes to a close, we want to remind parents to share with their students the importance of showing up as “their best selves” every day at school. This is important as we move into the tail end of the school year and students begin to prepare for the summer. We have a number of end of the year activities that students have access to as privileges within the school. Any consistent disruptive behavior, or consistent lack of appropriate school citizenship may result in the loss of these privileges.
