Dragon Weekly
Week of February 22
After not seeing a really good snow in several years, it was fun to see all the snow. No doubt weather records were broke this week around the state.
Dr. Atwell found out on Friday that our district has the AMI days to cover the 6 days (Feb. 10, Feb. 15-19) that we have missed due to winter weather. This means none of these missed days will have to be tacked on to the end of the school year. AMI assignments need to be completed on time. Teachers will provide more information to students next week.
Thank you to those who submitted snow pictures. As many of the pictures as possible were used.
