[cid:image003.jpg@01D96797.61892200]Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Leon County Schools’ Title I Office is administering the Parent and Family Engagement Survey for Spring 2023. The survey allows our school and our district’s Title I Office to understand the aspects of the parent/family and school relationship. The information gathered will be used to guide continual improvement within our school to better serve you and our students.
The survey administration period is Monday, April 10, 2023 through Friday, May 19, 2023.
The Parent and Family Engagement Survey is available online and by paper in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Swahili, and Arabic. Parents/guardians can select their language preference by clicking on the appropriate link or QR code.
Paper surveys may be used for parents/guardians who are unable to access a computer or device with internet connection. Please let us know if you need a hard copy of the survey.

Change of Date: IB CAS Recognition Night: Parents of IB Seniors, IB Juniors, and Pre-IB Sophomores are invited to attend our annual Title 1 IB CAS Recognition Night on Tuesday, April 25, from 6 pm to 7 pm, in the Rickards Auditorium. IB Seniors will be recognized for their completion of their CAS requirements; IB juniors will be inducted into IB Diploma Candidacy; and Pre-IB sophomores will be recognized for their transition from Pre-IB to IB status.
IB Senior Celebration: New Update: A day, time, and location have been chosen for the event. The 2023 IB Senior Celebration will take place on Wednesday, April 26th, in the Rickards Cafeteria, starting at 6 pm. All parents of 2023 IB Seniors who are interested in serving on the planning committee for the 2023 IB Senior Celebration, please contact Dr. Williams by email at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or by phone at 850-414-5036. Thank you to all the IB Parents who are currently working on this committee and providing valuable input as plans for our 2023 IB Senior Celebration take place. Please email Dr. Williams if you would still like to be on the planning committee. If you missed the planning meeting and would like to see a transcript of the meeting, please email Dr. Williams and ask for a transcription of the meeting. Also, if you are a parent of an IB Junior, you are welcome to participate in this committee. Parents of IB Juniors have helped with senior celebrations in the past in order to plan more effectively their own student’s senior celebration the following year. Please contact Dr. Williams, even if you did not attend the initial planning meeting, as the more parents who participate in the planning process, the less work each individual parent will have to do to prepare for the celebration.
IB/AP Exam Schedule: Please see the attached most recent version of our IB/AP Exam Schedule for May 2023. TCC has once again graciously agreed to host our IB and AP Exams this spring, and we are grateful to them for their continuing support of our school and our students!
2022 IB Diplomas and Transcripts are in: The 2022 IB Diplomas and IB Transcripts have arrived from Cardiff, Wales, UK. 2022 IB graduates or their parents can pick them up from Dr. Williams in the front office at Rickards. Please email or call ahead so Dr. Williams can leave your IB Diploma and/or IB Transcript at the front office for you, in case he is not available when you come to campus.

However, food and drinks are prohibited in the exam room. It is advisable to bring a sweater, in case the room temperature is below your comfort level.
* Since this activity is occurring off-campus, you will need to provide your own transportation to and from the testing site. However, transportation will be provided for on May 5 for the AP US History exam and May 10 for the AP Biology exam (students from this test administration need to picked up from TCC)
Approximate pick up time is Noon for 8 AM exam administrations and 4:00 for Noon exam administrations for most students.

Mrs. M. Barriner
Social Studies Department Chair
Over the last two weeks we have had an interactive exhibit titled Messages from Survivors from the Holocaust Education Resource Council set up in our cafeteria. This exhibit gave students a chance to read about the story of one family’s experience during the Holocaust and the exhibit even included videos with interviews from the survivors. All of our students enjoyed the exhibit and learned new things about the Holocaust. Within our classrooms, AP classes are gearing up for AP exams which start in 2 weeks!
