Overthe next few weeks, teachers will be gathering your child's belongings. They will be bagged with your child's name and teacher name/room number. The district will be sending out information within the next few weeks on how you can retrieve your child's belongings and medications.
Elementary Student Emails Have Been Opened
To make communication even easier, elementary studnet emails have been turned on, allowing email to be sent from teachers to students. Students can not email each other. They can only email with their teacher or other adults at the school.
