In less than a week now, we’ll celebrate the many accomplishments of our Class of 2010!  Celebrating student success is such a joy!  Congratulations to our 22 wonderful Seniors…all of whom have post secondary education plans, some beginning as early as this summer.  See you at Graduation on June 2nd!

For those 8th graders who have earned Camp, they will experience a wonderful day full of fun and learning on Monday, May 17th, as they travel to Camp Pendalouan for the day!  Way to go, 8th graders!

In just 2 weeks, the Class of 2010 will have completed their high school educations!  We eagerly anticipate their graduation from high school on June 2nd!  Go, Seniors!

Parents should look for 3rd Marking Period report cards to arrive on or just after Tuesday, March 30th.  Please actively encourage your student to do his/her very best as we move toward the end of the 3rd Marking Period.  Stay in touch with your student’s teachers; check into Parent Internet Viewer on a regular basis.

We are proud of the work being done by WayPoint students and staff as our MEAP results continue to show steady gains.  We continue to make Annual Yearly Progress as determined by the Federal “No Child Left Behind” legislation.  Our focus now is to continue to increase our Middle School mathematics achievement; results showed some need for improvement and we will focus on increasing our student achievement significantly.

Beginning on March 8th, WayPoint will be accepting applications from students wishing to attend the Academy next school year.  Please contact Mrs. Chaney in the Main Office or call 231-777-4972 for an application packet.  WayPoint…where students DO truly discover success!

Parents are reminded that beginning on March 8th, “Open Enrollment” for students wishing to attend the Academy next school year will begin.  If you have not already re-enrolled your student for next year, PLEASE DO SO RIGHT AWAY, to ensure that he/she has a spot for next year.  Charter school law requires current student re-enrollment every year.  Do not delay!  Re-enroll your student TODAY!  Contact Mrs. Chaney in the Main Office if you have any questions.
