Greetings Noble Families and Friends: 

We are closing another week here at Noble Elementary and we want to thank everyone for your patience, cooperation and understanding through the extreme weather and our e-learning days. As you know, Monday, February 18 is President's Day and Tuesday is a professional development day for teachers and school will not be in session. Students will return on Wednesday, February 20. Tuesday was scheduled to be a flexible learning day for students. Flexible Learning days were intended to allow staff and families to practice the experience of e-Learning and provide feedback for revision and adjustment to the e-Learning plan should we need to use it in the future. The weather on January 30-31 and February 8 presented us with this opportunity naturally. As such, we will not be implementing Flexible Learning activities for students on the February 19 Professional Learning Day, SCOREcards or assignments for students WILL NOT be sent home.  

Thank you.
Principal Michael Rieckenberg
