Return to 5 Day Instruction

As you likely know by now, our in-person learning students return 5 day a week instruction starting tomorrow.  While masks, social distancing, cleaning, and temperature scans will still occur, we are also retuning to a little bit more sense of normalcy.  As a friendly reminder, please also be sure to include a daily wellness check for your student before sending him/her/them to school.

We are also having a Spirit Week this week!  Please see the details below, and we're looking forward to a great week!
