A Message from Dr. Rolon

Dear Justice Community,

We are now in full swing with IB testing, with May 7 and May 8 being our largest testing days of the year. Our students have worked so hard this year, and they should each have the experience to take their IB exams. Please ensure your student(s) sit for their scheduled IB Exam(s). Please see the IB Exam calendar below.

Next week we begin SOL testing by period. Attendance is critical throughout the month of May for all grade levels. Please ensure your student(s) attend regularly and on time. We're excited for our students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills they've learned throughout the year.

Thank you for your support in ensuring our students attend school every day this month and take all required exams.

Regards,

Sean Rolon, Ed.D.

Principal
