We hope that everyone enjoys their Labor Day weekend. When we return, we'll have 9 school days until our first quarter progress report grades are submitted!


	Lisa Bethel, Principal

SchoolCenter Picture It is our plan that you leave here prepared for the next level--Life After High School. The academic, career preparation, and social skills you develop here will serve you well "out there" along with making it possible for you to have a successful and pleasant four years here at Montgomery County High School. Welcome to an extraordinary student body. We're glad you are here to be a part of it.


	What Happens with all this PD (Professional Development) Time?

We began this year with a focus on awareness of teen emotional needs. Although depression and suicide awareness are not topics that we like to think about, we want to be attentive. Here is a link to an excellent site for information for parents and educators (the more we know....):

	Attendance Matters!

Research proves a correlation between strong attendance in high school and academic success (not only in high school but later in college as well). Being on time and putting in a full day are great life skills to develop while in high school.

be familiar with the attendance policy for make-up work
limit work hours, particularly at night
get at least 8 hours of sleep
realize that you are setting habits that will carry forward into a career

Parents always ask, how can they help their HS student be successful?! Encourage them to get up and get here every day, all day - even when they don't feel like it!
