Black Bear News -- January 23, 2022
Principals Message
I would like to thank everyone for your patience during this week of virtual instruction. Many of our students and faculty have been sick over this time and I hope that everyone can return when healthy. Starting on Monday, Jan. 24, DCS is requiring masks for all students and faculty until Feb. 8. We have masks available, BUT we do not have as many as before, so we are encouraging students to bring their own masks from home. Thanks again for your continued support.#WEAREONE
Have a great evening!
Garth
