Welcome back Wildcat Families!
Our faculty and staff have been preparing all summer to serve our students--whether face-to-face or virtual. We are excited about the start of this new school year, and eager to reconnect with both students and families. Please help us by following our Facebook page and checking both the school and district websites frequently.
In this edition you will find information regarding LEAP days, (Learn, Evaluate, Assess, and Prepare), Parent/Student Virtual Training Opportunities, Device Check-out schedule for Virtual students who need one, and Re-Entry schedules.
Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers in these final days of preparation!
