Mid-Semester Progress Report (PR2)

We want to remind you that the Mid-Semester Progress Report (PR2) is coming up on Friday, March 14. Please be aware that any student who receives a grade below 70 in any required course (Math, Science, Humanities, English, and World Language) by the PR 2 will be considered at risk of failing. These students will be assigned to a mandatory study hall during free periods and will not be eligible to participate in sports and extracurricular activities for a period of fifteen school days. This means no playing, practicing or traveling with the team, or participating in any extended school activity.

This is a great time to check in on your progress! We encourage you to use the time leading up to PR2 to complete any missing assignments or assessments. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers if you need help!

Congratulations to freshman Lex Garretson and sophomore Kendall Lawson

for being named Spartans of the Week! (Week of February 10):

“Lex had a GREAT game vs Banks County on Monday in our Region Tournament. Down 13 points beginning the 4th quarter, Lex shot the Spartans back into the game by hitting 4 three pointers. Only a 9th grader, Lex comes to practice every day with a great attitude and a great work ethic. He is a great teammate and very coachable!”

– Don Hurlburt, Head Coach Varsity Boys Basketball

“Kendall has had a tremendous season and is leading the Spartans with her ball handling and playmaking ability. She makes everyone around her better and her court vision both in transition and half court sets is special, averaging 6 assists per game over the last 5 games. She loves seeing her teammates do well and we are excited to be a part of her continued growth both on and off the court. Nice job Kendall!”

– Brian Olson, Head Coach Varsity Girls Basketball
