Sophomores
Welcome to Sophomore Year!
Quarter 4 is here!
As soon as you struggle in any class, ask your teacher when their tutor times are. Don't wait until you are feeling lost before you reach out. You should look at your grades every Wednesday in Infinite Campus. If you see a discrepancy, talk to your teacher immediately. Every Friday we want you to feel safe with the grade you are earning and viewing in IC. For a list of tutoring times per department and Link Crew click Tutoring.
Registration is now closed. If the student is wanting EVIT junior year we recommend one of the electives be US History to prep the junior schedule to accommodate with the EVIT scheduling needs. Please see the counselor for information.
