Dear Parents/Guardians,

Spring is just around the corner, which means so is the end of the 3rd marking period. This is a reminder that Bobcat Virtual follows the same marking period schedule as the rest of the district. The 3rd marking period officially ends March 24th which means any assignments, quizzes and/or tests not submitted by the deadline will result in a zero.

On April 12th, high school students will be required to come to the high school for state testing. We will be administering the PSAT9, PSAT10 and SAT that day. We have made arrangements with the transportation department so that Bobcat Virtual students can ride the bus with GBHS students that day. Please fill out this survey below if your student will need to ride the bus that day.

Stay warm and be safe. It sounds like we could get a lot of snow this weekend.

Best Regards,

Kevin Keilitz
