Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
Congratulations to our Rough Rider Varsity Football team for making to the second round of playoffs. We were disappointed that Saturday's game resulted in a loss, however, we are very proud of the effort that was put forth. A great season in a very unusual year.
We wish you and yours a very safe and healthy holiday break for the next two weeks. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year. There will be curbside meal delivery available on both December 22 and December 29 during the break. The details are noted below in a graphic about the curbside meals.
On January 4, our first day back from the holiday break, we will be on an early release bell schedule, click here for the bell schedule. This is just for that first day back for 2nd semester. Teachers have until Tuesday, January 5, at 4:30pm to enter final grades for first semester.
Thank you for reviewing the many details included below as there are LOTS of new additions. Please continue to stay safe. If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out. Happy Holidays.
Stay well,
Lori Murach
