Message From the Principal
Bell Schedules
Our instructional focus will continue to be on Personalized Learning. Everything we have been doing over the last 6 years has been to better personalize learning for our students. We have done remarkable work in this area, and yet, we are just beginning. I want to thank all of our teachers for their efforts. Personalizing student learning experiences is making a difference. We have identified five key themes to our Personalized Learning efforts:
-Knowing Your Learners
-Voice and Choice
-Flexible Groups and Space
-Data Informed
-Technology Support
-Knowing Your Learners
-Voice and Choice
-Flexible Groups and Space
-Data Informed
-Technology Support
Listen to this message from the principal about our teaching philosophy.

Policies
Ethics
Absence
TRUANCY
A student is truant when he/she is tardy or absent from class without school and parent/guardian knowledge or permission, or when he/she leaves class or school campus without permission before the class or school day is officially over. All unverified absences are considered truant. Guardians have 3 school days to clear an absence or it remains truant in school reports.
ABSENCE POLICY
Students are expected to be in class and on time. If a student is absent for any reason, parents have 3 school days to verify the absence through the Attendance Office (see section on Reporting and Clearing Absences). All [A] unverified absences will be considered truant after 3 school days. If an absence is verified by the parent but the reason for the absence is not categorized as excused per state policy, the absence will be considered [U] unexcused. See section on Excused and Unexcused Absences. We will notify parents daily when students are marked absent for one or more periods and when their student accumulates 3, 6, and 9 unverified absences. When a student accumulates 6 unverified absences, he/she may meet with the Student Attendance Review Team (SART). The SART, which includes the student and parent, will develop an attendance contract for the student, and may issue consequences for noncompliance of school attendance policy.
