Students can enter the building each day at 8:00 for breakfast and class. They will grab a sack lunch each day at 11:45 and be ready for pick-up shortly after that! Students will work primarily on reading and math skills for the grade level that they are currently in. Teachers will be working to continue closing the learning gap that so many students felt as a result of our COVID closure.
Contacting Your Child's Teacher
Please always allow 24 hours for teachers to contact you back. Some teachers have their plan time right away in the morning and are not always able to check their email throughout the day. Thanks so much for understanding!
