Welcome Back!

Students return to school this Thursday, January 6th, for the start of second semester.

Second Semester COVID Protocols

As we shared before the winter break, now that elementary students have had the opportunity to vaccinate, elementary protocols will be similar to secondary. Notification will be sent to families when a student is a close contact. While not required, masking is strongly recommended and encouraged. Updated COVID protocols can be found here.

Board Elects Officers

Each January the Board elects officers for the year. Last night the Board elected the officers for 2022. President is Stacy Jolley. Vice President is Linda Poole. Secretary is Mike Kennedy, and Treasurer is Mike Pate.
