Friday, November 3, 2023
From Doan's Desk....
We have some special schedules and dates to know coming up next week.
- Daylight saving time ends this weekend, which means clocks will “fall back” one hour. Daylight savings ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, so it’s a good idea to change clocks before bed on Saturday.
- On Monday, November 6th we will follow our modified assembly schedule (click here) to facilitate two surveys (Climate Survey and Healthy Kids Survey). Students need to know the shortened class times and they will remain in their 2nd-period classes to take one of the surveys.
- The final reminder is that there is no school on Friday, November 10th in observance of Veteran’s Day.
Once we get through the special schedules next week, there is only one more week until we reach the Thanksgiving Break.
So everyone hang in there and “Sko Yotes”!
Greg Doan
Principal
ASSEMBLY SCHEDULE FOR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH
