PARENT INVOLVEMENT Parents and Community Members,
We have implemented a new system to help our students know and practice our monthly Lancer Pride Expectations. We have many resources available for our teachers and students to accomplish this. With a combination of monthly info graphics and episodes of The Harbor by Jostens Renaissance we hope that our students will know and practice each monthly expectation. These expectations will help them to be college and career ready! If you’d like to know more about The Harbor by Jostens Renaissance, please visit their website: https://www.jostensrenaissance.com/theharbortv/what-is-the-harbor/
