End of Year Processes:
The following all require non-essential travel and to some extent the gathering of crowds. These activities will need to wait until the stay at home and gathering group size restrictions are lifted or loosened.
- Yearbook Distribution- We have received our yearbooks We will be working to prepare them for distribution and are planning for a safe distribution as soon as we are able to.
- Locker Clean-out- We are developing a variety of plans to facilitate a safe locker clean out and retrieval of personal belongings at school.
