Welcome to the second trimester!

By now, students should have received e-mails from their teachers inviting them
into their new virtual classrooms for the second trimester. Students and
guardians should also be able to log into Home Access Center (HAC) to see
their schedules and initiate contact with teachers if they have further
questions. We also are going to be implementing a new daily schedule which
will increase instructional time for all students. This will allow teachers greater
flexibility with direct instruction, group instruction and independent practice to
better meet the needs of their students.

This is a new beginning, so let’s all take this opportunity to start fresh,
set new goals and continue to be Knights Rising!
