Principal's Message
We’ve had a strong start to the second semester, providing students with a great opportunity to reflect, make adjustments, and set goals for continued growth and success. Your support is invaluable, and attending Parent-Teacher Conferences (February 13th or 14th) is a wonderful way to stay engaged in your student’s academic journey.
Our sports teams are competing well, and we’re excited to see how they perform as they approach the state tournament competitions.
Looking ahead to next month, we’re eagerly anticipating key events, including SAT/PSAT Day and our highly anticipated school play.
Thank you for your continued support—we look forward to seeing you at these events!
Mission- Conrad Schools of Science… teaching life science and life lessons in a kind and inclusive environment, inspiring students and improving the world.

FAFSA Help is Available
Attention seniors and parents of seniors: Do you still need to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for college? If so, please join us for a FAFSA Completion Workshop on 2/27/25 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the library. This is a workshop to help apply for money for college. Facilitators from Stand By Me NexGen will work with students and parents to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) from the website at www.StudentAid.Gov. Register for the workshop here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16cmhY8p4n6dRa_dU2lunC4s3RUl0T3NhTz471TCLOUY/edit
Participants will work at individual devices (students must bring their school issued chrome book) and enter their information toward competing the application. The facilitators will make themselves available as they move throughout the room to assist in addressing questions, making suggestions, and clarifying sections of the application.
A handout will be shared via email to the student and parent once registered. The 25-26 FAFSA application will require ALL contributors to the FAFSA to have an FSA ID - username and password. That means that at least one parent in the home will need to create a FSA ID as well as the student. You must create this BEFORE you start the FAFSA as it may take 1-3 days for verification: https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account).
For help with creating a FAFSA ID before the event, appointments are available via ZOOM by scheduling an appointment with Stand By Me NexGen here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/04adeba3
For questions about registration, contact Nadia Borges at: nadia.borges@redclay.k12.de.us; 302-995-5545.
