Welcome Back & Important Updates

Welcome back, Bronchos!

I hope you had a chance to rest, recharge, and are ready to finish the school year strong.

Today is National Tartan Day, which celebrates Scottish heritage and the contributions of Scottish Americans to history and culture. It’s a day to recognize traditions like tartan patterns—the iconic plaid designs associated with Scottish clans—and to appreciate the lasting influence of Scottish culture around the world.

As we head into the final stretch, there are 46 school wake-ups left (not including weekends or Memorial Day) until the end of the school year. This time will go quickly, so it’s important to stay focused, consistent, and intentional with your work.

Spring testing begins next week for Juniors and Sophomores, so please make sure to review the information shared in the letter from Mrs. Voegel.

The Weekly Communication has been posted for this week, and your responses should be submitted by 11:59 PM on Friday, April 10, 2026. Be sure to fully answer all aspects of both parts of the assignment.

Finally, please remember to attend your scheduled mentor meetings. You can find your meeting times and the corresponding links on your Google Calendar.

Let’s make these last weeks count by staying on top of your responsibilities and continuing to push toward your goals. I’m looking forward to a strong finish together.

Spring Break / Upcoming Testing Schedule

We made it, Bronchos!

I hope you have a great Spring Break and are able to get some rest and recharge—you’ve earned it.

I also want to give you a heads-up that the state-mandated testing window for the MME, M-Step, and PSAT will begin on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Because of the testing schedule, our regular mentor meetings may need to be adjusted or rescheduled during that time.

You can always check when your mentor meetings are scheduled by visiting http://calendar.google.com. Please make it a habit to check your calendar regularly, especially over the next few weeks as the testing schedule may cause some changes.

You may have noticed that I canceled some mentor meetings earlier this week. I streamlined the schedule because there were a few double-booked appointments, and some were scheduled for meetings on multiple days each week. This should make things more consistent and easier to follow moving forward.

Regardless of any upcoming changes, your Google Calendar will always have the most accurate and up-to-date information about your meeting times.

Enjoy your break, and I’ll see you soon!

Spring Break Mentor Meetings

Good morning, Bronchos!

I wanted to give you a quick heads-up about next week. Since it is Spring Break, I’ll be canceling all mentor meetings. Don’t be alarmed when you see the cancellation notice come through -- I just don’t want anyone waiting around for me, because I promise I won’t be showing up. 

Our regular mentor meetings will resume on Monday, April 6, 2026.

Also, this coming Friday I will be sharing an overview of the upcoming state-mandated testing schedule, including the MME and PSAT, so you know what to expect.

Enjoy your break, get some rest, and I’ll see you after the fastest week of the school year!

Three more days...
