Principal Jennifer Nzeza

Mission: To help students become critical thinkers who are responsible, productive, and resilient.

Vision: To be a collaborative community that inspires and empowers students by establishing high expectations.

Dear Panther Families,

FAST progress monitoring begins this week for English-Language Arts (ELA). Please do your best to make sure your children get to school no later than 9:15 AM. This will give them enough time to get to their testing classroom and get settled. Please note: ALL students report to their 6th period class for testing days next week beginning on Tuesday. Please also make sure they are getting to bed earlier than usual and eat a substantial breakfast.

Thank you for patiently waiting for us to get settled into the beginning of the school year. Those families who are seeking Encore class changes can be requested MONDAY through a Microsoft Form here: 

Encore Schedule Change REQUEST (26-27) – Fill out form. 

The Form will be open from Monday 8/24 through Friday, 8/28 for requests. Please note: we will not be able to make every encore change request but will do our best to accommodate as many as possible. Changes could result in changes to other classes on your child's schedule. This process will take time due to testing.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Mrs. Nzeza
