Virtual Student Picture Day: Dates, Times, Locations
In order to reduce exposure to our virtual students, we have scheduled virtual student picture day in one of two ways:

- Century: Oct. 14 at 10 a.m.
- Espy: Oct. 14 from 8-10 a.m.
- High Pointe: Oct. 20 8:40-11 a.m.
- JTSD: Oct. 22 8:45 to 10:45 a.m.

If you are NOT attending your school's photo day or that day has already passed and you would like your child's photo taken for the yearbook and other school needs, please sign up for a time slot on Oct. 20. We have limited space at each time slot, so you need to register for one. You will need to sign up each child separately so we know exactly who is coming and limit it to 15 per time slot.

Virtual Learning Tips

K-12th: Missing assignments can be seen by clicking “Grades” in the left side course navigation menu. Please check these frequently and try to catch up on missing assignments as soon as possible.
LAUNCH Workbooks for Second Quarter and Supply Update
Elementary second quarter workbooks will begin to be mailed out the week of October 12.
LAUNCH has experienced a great deal of difficulty getting supplies in for the fall semester courses due to national shortages. Unfortunately, LAUNCH has not been given assurances from their suppliers that kits will be available, so LAUNCH is revamping the elementary related arts classes to either require no supplies or basic household items.
