From Mrs. Pudelko:

  • NOVEMBER 6 - Due to Parent Teacher Conferences, November 6 is a virtual day of school for students. Google Meets WILL NOT be scheduled, but students will be expected to complete assigned work on Canvas.
  • HEALTH DEPARTMENT TOOLKIT: The Health Department continues to update the School Toolkit. All parents are encouraged to review these updates here (as of 10/9/20). Thank you for taking all of our health precautions seriously. While we understand it may be frustrating to keep students home with mild symptoms, we need to ensure that we prevent as much potential spread of COVID as possible. In the event of a positive case, we are required to report close contacts to the Health Department, which then requires 14 days of quarantine.
  • Halloween Parties: Classes will have Halloween parties this year, but they will look slightly different than in past. Parties will be for students only. Please watch your email for details from Home and School Room Parents.
  • Parent Teacher Conferences: Parent teacher conferences will be the evening of November 5th and during the day on November 6th. There are virtual and in-person options. We hope to have 100% participation from our parents. This time together to discuss student progress is so important. Please visit the link below and carefully read the descriptions for important new details regarding this year's conferences. Specials teachers have been added to the sign up below homeroom teachers. 2020-2021 Parent Teacher Conference Sign-Up
  • Report Cards: Tomorrow, Friday, October 23rd is the end of the first quarter. Report card grading has started in Infinite Campus. Students are encouraged to ensure they have all of their work turned in. Report cards will be available and finalized on Friday, October 30.
