Next week is READ Across America Week! To celebrate we will have dress up days. See image for details.


We will have a 10:00 AM start tomorrow morning, Friday, February 24th. Busses will travel where possible. If your student is unable to make it to school, their absence will not count against them. Teachers will communicate with any students that are unable to be in school through their Google Classroom.

Parents
With our incoming winter storm, it is very likely we will be missing at least a couple of days of school. For any days we miss from this day forward, we will be going with an E-Learning Day. We have discussed this with all of our students today, and we will be sending computers home with them in anticipation of this winter storm. We have discussed our expectations with them, so please make sure they are checking in each day that we are not in session. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me by phone or email. Stay safe!
Mr. Hawkins

This is a reminder that we will be holding classes on Monday, February 20th. We were originally scheduled to have that day off but will be using it to make up one of our many snow days that we have been forced to take this school year. Also, a reminder that we will also be holding classes on Thursday, May 18th and Friday, May 19th for the same reason. Thank you! Mr. Hawkins
