Principal's Message

 

Hello Spartan Families, 

We are quickly approaching the second six-weeks of this semester. Parents are asked to continue to check ParentVue to make sure that your student is progressing as expected and is passing all of their classes.

Please plan to join us for our upcoming Hybrid Parent Meetings on November 6 and November 8. The topics will be Career Pathways (CTAE classes) and Work-Based learning. This is in preparation for elective registration for 2025-26. 

As we continue to focus on teaching and learning each day, and to encourage students to focus during each 90-minute block, students are expected and required to put their cell phones in a cell phone caddy that each teacher has in their classroom. We also ask that parents not call students during those 90 minutes of instructional time. 

If your student needs tutoring assistance, there are attachments below for each of the academic content areas and World languages with teachers' tutoring schedules. We also have Power Surge this coming Saturday for Math and Social Studies. 


Please continue to check ParentVue for your student's grades and contact the teachers if you have any questions or concerns. 


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
