🗓 School Calendar Update: Last night, the Board made a second amendment to this year's school calendar. In December, the Board added Tuesday, May 20, as a student day to make up for the day missed on Friday, September 27, due to Hurricane Helene. To make up for last Friday's Snow Day (January 10), the Board has now approved adding Monday, February 17, as a student day.
Thank you for staying flexible as we ensure all instructional days are accounted for- and as always, you can view a current calendar on our school website!
📢 Calendar Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, January 20th, 2025, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
