From the Principal...
Dear Parent(s), Guardian(s), & Students,
The chill of winter is upon us. Please help remind your child to bring/wear ‘all 5’ items {coat, snow pants, gloves, hat, boots} as we go outside daily. If your child is in need of any of these winter items; please let our Counselor, Mr. Davydov know.
In the event of a Snow Day, you will be notified by phone/email by our automated calling system. The district will try to make a decision no later than 6:30 AM to activate one of these options:
- CANCEL school for the day (for all students)
- Implement “2 HOUR DELAY” (Buses pick up 2 hours later than normal and the school day would run from 10:05-3:00.)
Enjoy the upcoming holidays and the snowy days to come!
Mrs. Berg
