As we prepare to enter the final month, students should be checking with their teachers about any missing work or reassessments which need completed. We want to avoind having any incompletes at the end of the year. To better assure this happens....

Returning to a pre-COVID building practice, students have two weeks to communicate with their teachers if they need additional time to make up or reassess an assignment or test. We had an inordinate amount of incompletes at the end of first semester which we can't have at the end of second semester going into summer.

Despite vaccinations being more available, masks are still to be worn during school and when on district property. Masks are properly worn covering the nose and mouth.
