A list of students for retention needs to be sent to Mrs. McKinney and Stephanie Prunty
by Wednesday, February 11th. We will schedule a retention meeting within the next few
weeks. Mrs. McKinney requests an in depth explanation as to WHY the student needs to
be retained as she will meet with the parents. Report cards and any student portfolio
should reflect this cause. (New interventions)

retention.
