Our Next 3-Hour Early Release Monday will be February 10, 2025

Sangster’s next 3-hour early release is Monday, February 10, 2025. Students will be released at 12:55PM so that teachers can plan and collaborate on the newly adopted Benchmark Advance program. Students needing to remain in school until 3:55PM can and will be supervised by our specialists until the end of the day.

There is NOT a survey parents need to fill out. We will be following the same plan at dismissal that we have for the other early release Mondays. If you child is doing something different, please communicate directly with your child’s teacher about what the plan is for your child.

Course Selection for Middle School Students

Beginning in January 2025, rising 7th-12th grade students meet with their counselors to discuss course selection for the next school year. Families are encouraged to actively participate in this important process.

As students choose courses, it is important for them to consider:

Current academic strengths and habits.
Graduation requirements (high school students).
Interests and career and postsecondary goals.
Personal well-being.
Extracurricular activities and other commitments that may impact students’ time and energy.

School-life balance is an important consideration for students as they strive for academic and personal success. Families are welcome to contact their student’s school counselor with questions.
