I want to recognize what a challenging week this has been for our community. I am hopeful for a change in the weather, and positive news from our maintenance department that we can get the buildings ready for school next week. The lack of electricity to campus has really slowed our ability to clean up the damage to water pipes and the heating systems.

In light of this situation, we are pushing back midterm grade posting and high school conferences.

End of the midterm will be Thursday, January 25th.

High school Conferences will be Thursday, February 1st, from 4:30-7:00 pm in the High School Commons. Homeroom teachers will be contacting parents via phone from 7:00-8:00 pm for their homeroom students who have any incompletes.

Stay safe!
