Good Afternoon Families,
This weekend is a 3-day weekend. Schools will be closed on Monday, January 20th, in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
We are closely monitoring the weather forecast, which indicates a possibility of snow on Sunday and very cold temperatures on Monday and Tuesday. We are unsure if this will cause a school closure next week.
To prepare, we are sending home devices and chargers with students today in case we have to provide virtual learning next week. Remember, we have used all our inclement weather days and are doing our best to not extend the school year further into June.
If there is no significant snow event, students should bring their devices and chargers back to school on Tuesday. Please ensure the devices are safely stored over the weekend.
If there are any connectivity issues, students will have the opportunity to make up the work, and it will not count against them.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
