Tomorrow - 1st 1/2 Day of School

On Tuesday, August 18th all K-5 students will have a half day of school (8:45-12:10).

1st - 5th grade students will meet their teacher on the back hill in the designated locations. If the hill is too wet they will meet on the blacktop.

Dismissal will follow the regular procedure.

FAQ: where do we find our teacher?

A: there might be multiple ways but I find it easiest to log into skyward, click on student profile and it’s listed under homeroom teacher!

Drop any other questions below!!
