Message from Dr. Reilly
Farney Families,
Please plan on coming to pick up your child's belongings by Thursday evening. Our campus plan was communicated in our last newsletter, all social media sites, as well as email. The schedule is attached again below for your convenience.
Teachers will be calling this week to register your child for summer school. You should have received a video via email to watch prior to the call. If you did not receive an email and call, please contact your child's teacher.
Packets for the week of May 18 and May 26 will be distributed the week of May 18th. There will not be packet distribution/delivery the week of May 26th, last week of school.
We will be celebrating our 5th graders and graduating seniors on May 29th at 10 a.m. with a "HONK OUT." See below for details.
