From the Principals...
Shoutout to our students, families, and staff for an amazing 2 days of e-learning during our "ice out!" Students "virtually" showed up on time for class, were engaged, and completed assignments as needed. On Wednesday, we were able to pick up in person learning effortlessly! Nice job and thank you to everyone for your flexibility!
