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,

Tardiness to school or classes directly reduces instructional time, disrupts the learning environment, and leads to lower academic achievement over time.

Please try to leave a little earlier to get students to school no later than 9:15 AM. Especially during testing days. Instruction starts promptly at 9:30 AM. In the last two weeks we had 71 students tardy to first period. Arriving just 10 or 15 minutes late each day adds up to weeks of missed learning over a single school year.

Schedule Changes: Please be patient with school staff as we begin to make schedule changes, where possible, from the requests we have received. Your child will know their schedule has been changed when he or she receives and email with a new schedule or is called to the office and given a hard copy.

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs. Nzeza
