Dear Parents and Students,

As the second quarter ends and the first half of the school year draws to a close, it is important to remember that each new quarter is like a clean slate.  Now is the time to get organized!  Does your student have everything that he or she needs to be successful during this next half of the school year?  Now is the time to take inventory, inventory of your student's supplies, your student's current grades (Report Cards come out Monday, January 25th), and inventory of your student's state of mind.  Refresh and replenish what needs attention now so that in the home stretch we will all be successful. 

FCAT will be here before we know it!  Please support your student at home by encouraging him or her to try the FCAT Explorer website.  Take some time to read as a family and help your student work through the content.  All 9th graders will take the FCAT Reading and Math tests during the second week in March.  If you need ideas or more information please visit our school website and the Duval County Public Schools website.

I welcome your questions and comments, please feel free to contact me at any time by phone or email. 

Mrs. Turpin
