Principal's Message
Dear Ontario Students and Parents,
As we enter the fourth quarter, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come this year! I want to take a moment to encourage all students to finish strong—you have worked hard, and we are so proud of your efforts and achievements.
After Spring Break, we will enter an important time of the year: academic testing season. This includes the administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. Our students and staff have been diligently preparing, and I am confident that their hard work will pay off. These assessments are important indicators used by the state to measure our school’s overall success, and I know our Jaguars will rise to the challenge!
