Principal's Message

Ontario Students and Parents, 

 

As we enter the 4th quarter, it is hard to believe we are already at this point. I want to encourage ALL students to finish strong, you all have come so far this year, and we are so proud of you. 

 

When we return from Spring Break, the academic testing season will begin. We will begin the administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), and Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. Students and staff have been working hard to prepare for these upcoming exams. These are just two of the indicators that are used by the state to measure the overall success of our school. 

 

I encourage you all as Jaguars to stay strong and determined to succeed. We are here to support you in any way that we can.
