COMMUNITY SCHOOLS NEWSLETTER March 2022

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

Every year, since 1987, we celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. The 2022 theme, "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope", is a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history."

COUNSELING TEAM

Grades and credits for first semester are posted and should be available for review through your Parent Connect. As a reminder, if you are having trouble logging on to your Parent Connect, please contact the main office for assistance.

Credits Towards Graduation At the completion of each semester students should be earning 30 credits. If your student has earned less than 30 credits for the fall semester, it could be because they did not pass a class. Counselors are available to discuss classes, credits and graduation plans as they pertain to your student.
