4/5/2021 - Finishing Strong!
Hello Families! Welcome back from Spring Break! We hope you had a wonderful, safe and healthy week! We are excited to get back on track and finish the year strong! Please keep the following in mind:
This week is WEEK A
2 things remain the same, even within this transition.
1. We need our scholars attending class (please call or text in order to be excused). Attendance can be a deciding factor of whether your scholar will be promoted to the next grade. Please make sure your child is attending classes EACH day!
2. We need scholars completing their work.
Scholars are expected to be in uniforms: black polo, khaki/black pants, any shoes (no slides). Honor Roll scholars can wear their shirts with their choice pants and shoes.
Ohio State Testing begins next week, April 15th and 16th, for 7th grade! (full schedule below)
If you have specific questions about the guidelines we will be following in the building, please click on the letter from our Ohio Regional Director below. As always email or call us with any other questions or concerns.
