Note from Mrs. Haworth
Good afternoon,
I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!
Tomorrow has potential for bad weather, so that means the car rider line may be extra not fun! Thank you ahead of time for your patience.
We are still accepting nominations from now until December 15th and our Teacher of the Year and Rookie Teacher of the Year will be announced in mid-January. Please click here to nominate a teacher. Students will also be able to nominate teachers at school during finals week.
Below is our Final Exam schedule for the week of 12/11-12/15. Each student will receive a copy of the final exam schedule next week.
Have a great evening,
