Parents / Guardians, Unfortunately, while formatting the list I shared last week, a few names accidentally were cut off the bottom of the list. Please take a moment to look over this revised list of students that earned straight As for the first quarter. We are very proud of our hard-working students, and I am sorry that a few names were left out. It was not intentional; I can assure you.
