Congratulations as we embark on your final year, I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of staying focused and determined to achieve your goal towards graduation. This is a critical time in your academic journey, and it is crucial that you remain on track toward your ultimate destination.

 

We are extremely proud of how far you have come but now it's time to channel all of your energy and commitment towards completing your units and testing every week. Stay dedicated to your coursework, seek help when you need it and make the most of the opportunities that come your way. 

 

While it is natural to feel a mix of anxiousness, excitement and anticipation as you approach the finish line, it's essential to stay focused. Don't let these feelings stop you or prevent you from moving forward. Graduation is not just a ceremony, this day represents the culmination of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Each of you have such a bright future filled with endless possibilities. You can do this!

 

I understand that challenges may arise throughout the year, but remember that you are strong and resilient. When obstacles come your way, seek help from your teachers, counselors, peers and me. Together, we will navigate any obstacles that may come your way. Please don't wait until it's too late. 

 

As you continue to move on with your courses please ensure that you have met with your Senior Teacher and you understand what courses you need for graduation and how many tests you need to be completing each week in order to graduate on May 25, 2024. The deadline to be course complete is Friday, May 17, 2024. Please know that this is a tight deadline and no exceptions will be made.

 

By now, you should have a good understanding of what you need to do in order to meet graduation requirements, if you are not sure please request a Senior Review Meeting with your Teacher. This is a critical year for you, please ensure that you are planning ahead and meeting all your requirements. In addition, please ensure that you are managing your attendance. Any attendance issues may require credit holds and jeopardize meeting your graduation requirements on time.  

 

Let us work hand in hand, guiding you towards receiving your diploma. You are capable, you are resilient, and you are destined for greatness. Remember, we are here for you!

 

Go Panthers!
