Happy New Year Hawks

We hope that everyone had a safe, healthy and happy winter break and we were so excited to welcome students back in the building and return to learning. Thank you families for your understanding last week with the weather and E-Learning days. It was difficult to return to school for one day, have two days home and then return for one more day, so we thank you for your patience. E-Learning days that are not scheduled and that are decided because of inclement weather will always be determined no later than 5am the day of. Please make sure that your email and cellphone numbers are updated with us so that you or your student is always receiving our school notifications as well as the district's messages. You may view the district's weather plan at the link below.
