Dear Lent Families,
We have some exciting news for you this week from our first LITERACY NIGHT this WEDNESDAY to our middle school students picking up there new Chromebooks this Thursday and Friday!
We also want to remind families that the building is currently closed to non-staff. If you need technology or a meeting, please schedule an appointment. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate families who come without one. This is in an effort to keep staff and family safe as well as make sure the item and or person you need are there upon your arrival.
Lastly, PPS will remain in Comprehensive Distance Learning until January 28th which is the end of quarter 2. At that time they will reevaluate - details are in the newsletter below.
