Q & A

What should I do if my child is interested in extracurricular activities?

Students/Parents are welcome to contact the school and their information will immediately be given to the sponsors of the extra-curricular activities so that they can be included in them. You can also get into contact with the campus based military liaison and they will give you more information.

Is help available if my child is struggling academically with the transition?

If your child is struggling academically, please reach out to your child's teacher so that targeted supports can be provided during their daily intervention time.
