Snow "Hours" Make Up
By state law, we're required to log 1,080 hours of school each year. While we generally have some extra hours built in to the school calendar, we are short 45 minutes due to the number of snow days we had this past winter. To make up this time, we will be adjusting the school schedule on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 29, 30, and May 1st and starting the school day at 8am. Doors will open at 7:45 those mornings. Please make note of this on your calendars and we will continue to send reminders. We will not be counting tardies those days but would appreciate you making the effort to arrive a little earlier those 3 days.

Track meet recap
The 7/8 girls participated in their first track meet of the season back on April 8, in Washington. The weather was fantastic for a track meet and the girls had a great time cheering each other on. Also, for having such a small team in both the 7th and 8th grade divisions, the girls placed well. Top 5 finishes included the following: Grace Barnes in the 100m hurdles (2nd place) and long jump (3rd place); Lauren Kallemeyn in the high jump (5th place); and Claire Cannon in the 200m (4th place), 400m (4th place), and the 200m hurdles (3rd place).
