Dear Swamp Owl Families, Our Spring Culture Survey is now live through Wednesday, May 21, 2025, and we need your voice! This is our first time doing both a fall and spring survey, and we’re aiming to top our strong fall participation. The survey takes just a few minutes and covers a variety of topics. Middle & high school students are also completing their version of the survey, so we’ll have a full picture of our culture as we plan for next year. Let’s make it a friendly competition—which campus will have the highest response rate? Click below to complete the survey: https://forms.gle/7awKhTLk2RzLszKD9 Thank you for helping us grow and improve. Every response matters! DoC Kennedy

The next available Cypress Room date will be Tuesday, 4/29. Please reach out to your teacher via email if you need assistance with your core classes. All teachers will administer the LEAP assessment, so please allow them time to reply. 2) High-Dosage Tutoring (HDT) during scheduled LEAP testing will be canceled.
