Updates from the Principal
Good Afternoon Firebird Nation Families -
It's Friday! We made it to the end of another week, which means that there are only 5 weeks to go until the 20-21 school year official comes to an end.
We learned today that the district is adjusting the School Year Calendar for the remainder of this year. Next Friday, April 30th, will be a FLEX Day. All students will work from home next Friday. We want for students to use this day to get caught up on work and complete any missing work they may have for classes. All teachers will be offering office hours through zoom to help answer any questions and assist students with their work. Teachers will post their office hours and links on their team landing pages so that students know how to contact them. Each teacher will have a quick task for students to complete so that they are counted as present for each of their classes.
The district has also moved the last official day of school to Wednesday, May 26th. This will still be a full day of school from 7:50am - 3:00pm. This change will have an impact on our 8th grade promotion event. We have updated our promotion letter (LINKED HERE) with the updated information on this ceremony. 8th Grade Promotion will now take place on Wednesday, May 26th, though it will still be at the same time. We will keep you posted if anything additional changes. We look forward to celebrating our 8th graders and their successful completion of middle school!
Our School Nurse Nelda has included some important updates and reminders below. Please make sure to review this information. I know how frustrating it is on all of us regarding the procedures we are to follow related to quarantines, required COVID testing, etc. We are still responsible to follow these requirements from the health department as we work through various COVID situations. We are happy to talk with you if you have any questions.
Our Football and Volleyball seasons just concluded for the year. Thank you to all of our coaches and athletes for their participation! It was great to see some of the games and all of the skills our students have worked to develop! We will be beginning our final season here next week. Track, Softball, and 6th Grade Football will be conducting their intramural season over the next 4 weeks.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Thank you again for all of your support of Firebird Nation!
Sincerely,
Brian Smith
