Principal's Message

 

Hello Spartan Families, 

We wish all of our families a very blessed Thanksgiving! We will be on Thanksgiving Break from November 25-29. 

Please check your student's grades on ParentVue and contact the teachers or your student's counselor if you have any concerns. We have less than five weeks remaining in this semester.  It is really important that students not give up when they are so close to the end of the semester. Please encourage perseverance and persistence. 

The End of Course Tests are coming up for students who are enrolled in American Literature, Algebra I, Biology, and US History. There are letters in parents' language of preference in the attachments below. 

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. 



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

Seniors: Students have been registered for IB exams. Please see info sent on Remind this week. 

Juniors: A link was sent through Remind last week to sign up for rising senior advisement. Only students will be in person but parents will have the option to join via phone or FaceTime. Each session is only 15 minutes, so we will send a rising senior timeline prior to advisement for students and parents to review before their appointment in case there are any questions. 

Save the Dates: 
Next IB Insights: November, 21st at 11:30. A link will be sent on Thursday morning to access the meeting. We're lucky to have TWO special guests: Mr. Jones and Maria Curtis, LFMT. We will discuss how to support your students through college admission decisions, handling increased rigor, asking teachers for help, and the importance of sleep. 

Academic Advisement - we will send a link for students to sign up for advisement via Remind two weeks before their class's advisement begins. Students will receive a pass to report to the advisor for their appointment. We will also send course options through Remind. Advisement is ONLY in-person for students. Parents will join via FaceTime, Teams, or phone.  

Class of 2026, rising Seniors: 12/3-12/13 (sent last week)
Class of 2027, rising Juniors: 2/24-3/7 (note: 3/3 is a digital learning day, so all advisement appointments will be on Teams).
