Mini-Class Night Teacher Presentations for Parent Viewing

Please, take the time to view these and contact a teacher should you have any questions.

Inclement Weather Make-Up Days Information
In the event that there is any more inclement weather and we have to close the school, we will have to make up days prior to the end of the school year as we have used all of our allowable inclement weather days to date.
IF NEEDED - the plan is as follows:
If any inclement weather occurs between now and
February 16, 2018, school will be in session on Presidents' Day,
February 19, 2018.
If more than one day of inclement weather occurs between now and the end of the school year, the final exam schedule at the end of the school year will be adjusted so that all missed days will be made up accordingly. This could potentially mean that exams for underclassmen could take place after the Memorial Day holiday.
At this time, this is for informational purposes only but wanted to share this plan with all families in the event that we have to make up any more missed school days due to inclement weather.
