This Week in Wildcat Nation...
In this week's Wildcat News, a reminder that we have no school on Monday (12/8), academic highlights from our AVID and AAPS programs, and the opening week of winter athletics is this weekend.
Wildcats, as a reminder, we have just under four weeks of classes left in the second quarter. Please take time to review your current grades and progress in Aspen, and take proactive steps to finish the quarter with your best effort. Know that teachers and support staff are here to help you in the process.
Parents, please note that next week you can get involved and have your voice heard at the Naples complex IAC meeting. Be sure to see the event details below on how to attend (in person or virtually) and where to send questions/concerns.
