From Doan's Desk....
Happy Friday!
As a reminder, we are heading into a 4 day weekend. Monday, February 19th there is no school due to President’s Day. There is also no school on Tuesday, February 20th for staff professional development. Due to the short week, we want to remind everyone that we have our second night of Parent/Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 22nd from 4:30 - 7:30 pm. On this night the conferences will be in-person on a first come, first served basis. We know this makes for quite a few differences in the flow for next week but we look forward to seeing as many parents as possible during our last scheduled conference night for the year.
We hope everyone has a great couple of days off and we will see you next week!
Greg Doan
Principal
