Principal's Message

 

Hello Spartan Families, 

We are approaching our first progress reporting day on Friday, September 13. We want to inform our parents that we have established deadline dates for students to turn in late work for the grading period. Friday, September 20, is the last day for students to turn in work that was due from August 1- September 13. These dates have been established to give teachers time to grade late work and to give students clear deadlines so that they don't get too far behind. 


The Student Behavior Contract Letter was shared with all parents/guardians at This is Sparta. All students received a copy on the first day of school and it was reviewed with students during the grade level assemblies. A copy of the letter is in the attachment below and will remain for the remainder of the school year. Please review the letter with your student. 

Please note that there is a change this year to the Early Checkout TimeThe Early Checkout Time has been changed to 2:45 PM
