Readdddddddy to CELEBRATE - 8th Grade Class of 2020!!!!
Celebrating Miss Lauren Birge - Most Inspiring Student 2020 - "Someone who is outgoing helps others by putting them first and is considerate in interactions, which is what I try to be"
Dear Gompers Families,
I hope you had a great 3 day weekend and enjoyed family and loved ones. I did!..backyard shenanigans in the sun and of course good food.
Though this year, has definitely been different, what continues to shine through is the pride students have for their accomplishments. As I look into the eyes of the 8th-grade students, receiving their celebratory Class of 2020 yard sign.....I see nothing but pride and self-accomplishment. ** If you were unable to pick up the sign last Friday, please contact the office for an appointment time to come back and pick up**
1. PLEASE NOTE **** Tuesday, June 2, will be the last day for teachers to follow the time schedules of class meetings. However, online assignments/projects/quizzes will continue to be received for submission and grading purposes. Please, ensure this week that your child(ren) is aware of all assignments and due dates.******
2. Our district-level office is still designing a continuum of options for students for Fall 2020 and what it might look like and sound like in daily application. I have attached below the Superintendent's; latest message regarding "where we are" with updates for Fall 2020. Additionally, please note as the district develops possible implementation plans for Fall 2020, stakeholder input from parents'families and students will be gathered to gain a greater perspective on our new normal for schooling.
