Their legislative bills for the 2020 National Youth Legislative E-Congress were passed!
The students exchange legislation with students from all over the country and act as a mock House of Representatives. Getting bills passed is no easy task and their bills will be forwarded on to state legislators. Nice job! #COMETSSTRONG

Dear Alexander students and parents of grades 7-12, Our D and F list continues to grow every week. Please remember: Students you are responsible to complete your homework weekly. There is a rumor out there that we legally cannot fail any student for the 4th quarter. That is a myth, not true. It is stated in our approved distance education plan that we will continue to follow our grading system as we did throughout the year. If you have questions, utilize the homework or IT help desk, reach out to your teachers, reach out to Mrs. Faller, Mr. Allard or myself, Ms. Bieber. You cannot expect to receive a passing grade unless you earn it! I know that this is not ideal, it is more difficult, it is confusing and frustrating at times and life has completely changed! We are here for you and only an email, a phone call and/or a Google Meet away. Be Comet Strong and Finish Strong! Sincerely, Ms. Bieber
