At the December 2024 board meeting, it was voted to move the PD day on April 24th to April 18th . April 18th will be a PD day for faculty; students will be out of school. April 24th will be a regular school day.

Tomorrow, December 20th is a 60% day. Buses will run at 12:00 P.M. Reminder that students may arrive home earlier as not as many students are riding the buses.

Reminder: During testing, students can only check out at the specified times on the checkout notes. We want every student to have a quiet testing environment, therefore if you come for your child before the designated checkout time, we will wait until the end of the testing period to call for your child. Also be aware that with many students checking out early students may arrive home by bus a littler earlier than normal.
