Food Drive
We celebrate Thanksgiving all month by giving back to our community. Our annual food drive begins November 2nd and runs until Monday, November 16th. We will accept all non perishable food items. There will be a drop off bin outside the main doors for our virtual students and anyone else who wishes to drop off items. There will also be a box inside for our traditional and hybrid students to place the items they bring to school. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Attendance
Online and Hybrid students need to be present and actively participating in their learning. Having the camera on and being visible to the teacher allows the teacher to note their attendance as present. Students who turn off their camera for extended periods of time and are not engaging in the lesson, or leave the class early will be marked absent. Please send in a note If your child has an appointment and needs to miss class.
