McKissick Academy of Science and Technology - 10.11.24

October 11, 2024

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. We worked hard to catch up from being out the past week. Losing 6 school days in a row is a lot! Our sharks worked hard this week, and we have a busy week next week with more events. Please try to have your sharks here every day, especially since we missed days with the weather. We want to ensure they have everything they need to continue to learn and grow successfully. Next week is a 3-day week planned in the school calendar. Monday and Tuesday, there is no school for students. I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend and we can't wait to see everyone on Wednesday, October 16th!

Committed to Success,

Heather Touchberry
