Happy Friday! Although this was yet another, and hopefully the last, short week, we got some things done. Unfortunately, we had to postpone Parent Shadow Day and our assemblies. Simply put, there were too many obstacles to making both as successful as we would like. Both will happen on the other side of the vacation. Stay tuned for more on those, but mark your calendar for the Spring Open House - March 19th, 5-7pm.
As it relates to calendar items, please prepare for school to be in session on March 17th and June 17th to help meet the state's 180 school day requirement. This is not yet official.
Despite the cancellations and transportation challenges, we were able to usher in the 3rd quarter successfully. Students were provided their report cards for quarter two today. You may access them on SIS if you have an account. If not, please contact us. We want you to have one. We will mail report cards on the other side of the vacation.
Dismissal today marks the beginning of the February vacation. Please enjoy and remind your young scholar to read, read, read over the break.
Best,
Dr. T
