Dates to Remember
School News
Office Update
Both the elementary and middle school offices have received several requests from parents to enroll their student(s) in Independent Study for an upcoming planned absence. As a reminder, Independent Study is not an option for the 202-21 school year due to current legislation. We encourage parents to communicate any absences - planned or not - to the appropriate office, and to have students log onto Zoom meetings and complete Altitude Learning assignments whenever possible. Attendance this year requires daily contact with a credentialed teacher and peers, as well as completion of assigned work for the time required by grade level.
