2022-23 School Year :: October 24, 2022
Fall Break Week
Families and friends,
This week is a shortened one for our students. We will be in person Monday and Tuesday and the eLearning Wednesday. Please be sure your child is logging in on Wednesday and completing assignments to be counted as "present" for the day. (K-1 students may have a different way to accomplish this.)
Wednesday we have Parent-Teacher Conferences and we are excited to see everyone come out to share in the successes and hard work our students have put out this first quarter. This is a valuable time for you to see your child's teacher and get a peak at their school goals.
We are off Thursday and Friday for break, but will return to learning on Halloween.
Have a fabulous week,
Mrs. Hankins
