Happy Memorial Day!
Our final time together is quickly approaching with only have 3 weeks left in the school year!
I know this is not the way any of us thought the year would end. We had a great run from August to March. At this time, our program will end the year through the Distance Learning platform and will not be offering ESY or any Summer School alternative this summer. I hope to know the preschool program's Fall plans on reopening sometime in July. Stay tuned for a July staffing update.
