RESPECT-HONOR-STRENGTH

Welcome Back Everyone and Happy New Year!

hope everyone had a wonderful break but as a parent myself…it is definitely time to get

e kids back to school! Before moving on to second semester I want to share some data

ith you on where each class is currently sitt ing in regards to being on track for graduation.

e have some serious challenges ahead but we are prepared to support all our students

ward achieving their diploma. Over the Winter Break we had students recovering credits

our credit recovery labs and we also offered a science proficiency exam prep course for

niors. I would like to thank Mr. Schott, Mr. Kuhles, Ms. Mangan and Mr. Ronan for all

eir help supporting our students over break.

ere is a breakdown of our current stats. Though these stats currently show a downward

end—this is not unusual this time of year. Our data changes rapidly throughout each

mester as students pass their HSPE exams and credits are attained. We definitely have a

ountain to climb this spring but Reno High School will continue to work as a team with our

milies to support all of our students toward graduation. Please make sure you know the

urrent progress of your student(s) and if you need Infinite Campus Parent Portal Support,

ease notify Mrs. Kim Borders in our main office. (775-333-5050 or

[email protected].
