Character Trait: Gratitude A person of gratitude shows an appreciation and gratefulness in numerous kind ways toward others.

From Head of School, Lacey Scadden

This semester has started with many disruptions to learning, through challenges with COVID, illness, and inclement weather. We appreciate adaptability through disruptions. As a reminder, absent students are responsible for make-up work. Please check TEAMS and IC for missing assignments. This Friday we have the opportunity to explore learning in a unique way through Personalized Learning Time. We will shorten our regular classes to free up two hours to dive deeper into filling gaps and extending learning. We are excited to be able to offer this unique opportunity this month! As always thank you for your ongoing support!!  #WolfPackGotYourBack
