This is only a four-day week for students as Monday, October 12 is a student holiday. However, Monday remains a teacher work day as they finalize first quarter grades and prepare for the next nine-week quarter. Classes will resume on Tuesday as usual with the exception of the fact that we will have additional students returning to campus under the Face-to-Face option. We have prepared a short Welcome Back presentation for these students and families highlighting some of the changes and safety precautions now in place. In this issue you will find several of the key slides from this presentation as well. If you are returning to campus this week or have student in Face-to-Face learning choice, please look the Welcome Back material over carefully.

I hope all of our Bears will enjoy their Monday holiday and will be ready Tuesday morning for a successful, on time start to the second quarter!

 Our 3D art students created impressive sculptures to reflect all types of human emotions. This was the 5th straight year this assignment was presented to our Bears and as you can see, they handled it most impressively having even created their artwork from home!
