Sept. 8 - 11

It's a 3 Day weekend!! Enjoy family time together!

Principals message emailed this week:

We hope you are doing well and continue to persevere and problem solve in the midst of our current reality.  We are finally settling in to our new normal, for the time being, and now we have space to focus on other important matters.

In the packets, which were distributed during our packet pick ups a few weeks ago, were some forms which need to be completed and returned.  With the majority of our students learning at home, we want to offer document drop off dates and times for families.  Please keep each set of forms separated by grade level if you have multiple children.

Monday, September 7 - HOLIDAY 

Tuesday, September 8 - Document drop off 2:45 - 3:15

Wednesday, September 9 - Document drop off 2:45 - 3:15

--------

When you are driving through to drop off forms, you can pick up a bag of MakerSpace Supplies to make something at home in celebration of Dot Day.  You can also drive through just to get MakerSpace supplies if you have no forms to drop off. Check out Dot Day activities from last year, so fun.
