High School Newsletter – November 26, 2020

Dear Students and Parents,

Parent-Teacher Interview

Due to COVID-19 this year our parent – teacher interview will be conducted over the phone. In the coming days you should expect a phone call from your child’s teacher. The purpose of the call is to keep our parents up to date with their child’s academic progress, and discuss any issues or questions the parents have.
