GO Time
Parents

for students to seek out additional help in classes, get work made up, or
attend an enrichment session to build on their current understanding of
content. Parents we encourage you to
speak with your student about what sessions they are attending on Thursday to
make sure your student is getting the most out of this opportunity each and
every week.
