Freshmen receive mentors

By Jessi Robinson

This year's freshman class recently received their high school mentors. Each student received a survey on Monday that they were required to complete and turn in to their mentor.

Every mentor, chosen from the school faculty, must chose a student whom they are willing to support for the rest of the students' high school career. This includes remembering their birthday, and sending cards and words of encouragement their way when needed.

Progress reports will be coming out Wednesday, Sept. 17. Report cards come out at the end of a grading period, but for those students and parents who like to know how they are doing, Cedar Key School calculates the grades and sends them home after four weeks. This gives the students a chance to improve their grades before the end of the grading period in hopes of having higher grade-point averages.
