Just a reminder to move your clocks back one hour on Saturday night as we begin Daylight Saving time.
Reading Month Updates
We are in the second week of our reading challenge and have reached a total of 29,855 minutes logged in our first two weeks!!! The students are well on their way of meeting the challenge of 100,000 minutes by the end of the month! They are all excited to get to turn faculty into human ice cream sundaes if they meet their goals!!
Spring Break - March 12-16
Our Spring Break is scheduled for March 12-16. We are open normal hours all week; however, there are no instructional classes scheduled that week. Any elementary students that plan to attend should have signed up already. Please see the schedule below for field trips and other Spring Break activities.
