Weekly Update 11/13/20
Principal's Message
Thank you for completing your learning mode survey choice for next semester. For those that are new to the Remote Learning Academy, look for communication regarding an information/Q&A session that we will offer sometime in the middle of December. For those 6th graders and families that are new to the District and haven't toured Grizzell, please reach out to your son or daughter's guidance counselor to explore this opportunity before the start of the 2nd semester.
We continue to move along as we make the drive towards Thanksgiving break. Please make sure that your student is reaching out to their teachers when they are absent or when they are struggling in any way. Our teachers are finding a variety of ways to connect with kids when they are or will be absent for long periods of time.
Again, thank you for your support and enjoy the weekend.
