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.
