At this time we are unable to plan for what the teacher specifics will be in January for our second semester of school. We know that it is very uncomfortable to be in a holding pattern waiting for information, but we are trying our hardest to get you information in a timely and responsible fashion. Thank you for all the support, patience and understanding.
