Now that it looks like we are through the worst of the weather issues, I wanted to update everyone. Since we submitted a calendar with the necessary hours built in, we will not have to make up the snow days. However, we did take two COVID break days after Thanksgiving that will have to be made up. With travel plans already made for some of you, I didn’t want to take away spring break days. We will need to add two days to the end of the school year on May 24 & 25. Hopefully this is a situation we will not have to deal with in the future. Once again I thank you for your patience and understanding during the pandemic.

Wednesday February 24th is the 100th day of school!
Students are welcome to dress as a career 100 years in the future or 100 years old.
