Good afternoon Titan Community,
The second semester is under way! As we hit the ground running, I would like to remind parents to continue checking Powerschool to stay on top of your student’s grades and attendance. Our Spring Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026, from 4:00 – 7:00pm.
Last week, the AP and elective class fair was held during all lunch periods. Informational tables were set up, allowing students to hear from both other students and teachers about various AP and elective courses.
There will be no school February 16-20 for mid-winter break. Classes resume Monday, February 23.
Spring Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on February 25 from 4:00 – 7:00. There are limited spots for parents who need a conference. We would like to save the conferences for parents of students who are struggling in the classroom. We will be using SchoolSoft again to schedule conferences. Families have two options for the conferences, virtual or in-person. The in-person conferences will be held from 4:00 – 5:00 and the online conferences are 5:00 -7:00. Parents will be able to schedule their parent teacher conferences beginning February 9 at 6:00 AM and will close on February 12 at 12:00 pm. You will receive a link for each school your child is enrolled (SHS, MST/CSI, Virtual Academy). Please complete the sign-up for each of the schools your student attends (e.g., CSI and VA) as you will need to login to both to sign up to conference with your student’s teachers. Please be at your computer on time. If you prefer to meet in person, you should schedule a time in SchoolSoft.com that is dedicated for in person conferences) PLEASE NOTE: THE ONLY TIMES AVAILABLE FOR IN PERSON CONFERENCES ARE FROM 4:00- 5:00 PM. DO NOT SCHEDULE AN IN-PERSON CONFERENCE that is not in that window - you will be turned away. Parents should be at school on time for their scheduled conference and keep to the time limit that was scheduled.
