DL Packet Pickup for Q2 (Two Opportunities!)
Each elementary school will host a Digital Learning Packet Pickup on Friday, October 9th from 1:00-1:30pm and again on Tuesday, October 13th from 9:30-10:00am to distribute materials for Quarter 2. Parents, please plan to attend one of these pickup events to receive the necessary materials for your student.
- Students in grades K-3 will need to pick up packets for ELA and Mathematics.
- Students in grade 5 will need to pick up packets only for Social Studies.
- Students in grades 4-5 may request packets for ELA and Mathematics, but all of these documents are available as writable PDFs in digital format. Please complete the Packet Request Form by Tuesday, October 6th, if you would like to request these copies rather than using the digital format.
Science Fair
All 4th and 5th grade students (digital and in person) are invited to participate in the 2020 Science Fair.
