Message from Mrs. Steele, Principal

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK! Tomorrow, Tuesday, Cohort A will attend school. Cohort B and remote students will learn from home. The school will be closed Wednesday, November 25-Friday, November 27. We wish you a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday!

Smile! It’s Almost Picture Day

We will be taking school pictures on Wednesday, December 2 (Cohort A) and Thursday, December 3 (Cohort B). Pictures will be taken in the gym. Students will stay with their class and follow all safety precautions, just as we do throughout the day.  

We are also offering an opportunity for our REMOTE students to take their picture on December 2 and 3 from 4:15-6:00 p.m. Please sign up below (remote students). Please park in the side parking lot and walk across the blacktop to the front gym entrance.
