Ben Eielson Families,
I would like to first say "THANK YOU" for the time, energy, and everything you have done to help your student this first quarter of the school year during remote instruction, which has been unprecedented to state it lightly. There have been many challenges as we have shifted from seeing students face to face in the building to a combination of virtual meetings, emails, phone calls, and pick up/drop off structures this grading term. I just wanted to again let you know that we appreciate all the work that you have done to help your student be successful.
Monday Oct. 19th is a Transition Day, no classes, as we move into the next grading term and need the ability to collect and issue textbooks for the 2nd Semester of High School Classes/3rd Quarter of Junior High Classes. (Reminder we are on a condensed grading term covering a High School Semester of material in a 9 week period) or (Junior High covering 18 weeks of material in a 9 week period). If you are an athlete that is quarantining, do not come to the school please remain home, we will make arrangements for contact-less drop off or sending electronically information to start your next Semester in a Quarter classes.
We will have a special rotation of classes over the next two weeks. The Class Schedule is listed below but we will start off Monday 19th, collecting books from last quarter and issuing new ones for this upcoming grading term. Between the hours of 9am and 5pm, no appointment necessary to pick up textbooks, just come to the front entrance.
