It is so nice to have everyone in the building and all of our students are doing a wonderful job with protocols and new safety systems in place. Please continue to make hand-washing, social distancing, and mask-wearing a priority both in and out of school. All of these systems support keeping us all safe and in school for the duration of the school year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was wonderful to meet with families and students during conferences last week to celebrate the learning that has occurred during such an unusual year. If you were unable to meet with a teacher last week but would like to talk or have questions about class, please reach out directly to the teacher. We are happy to help make the last quarter for all of our students as smooth as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Schedule Reminders:<\/strong> Each day school now begins at 10:35 with doors opening around 10:20 for breakfast. School ends at 4:25 daily and at 2:57 on Wednesday. With road closures in our area, please plan ahead and give yourself extra time. The parking lot can get pretty crowded around crunch time. Please consider <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/k6aG6chnGF8wRecE9\">bus-riding<\/a>, bike-riding, or walking when possible to help us cut-down on traffic. Also, Monday begins an EAGLE WEEK (Periods 4-7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6th Graders:<\/strong> We begin Quarter 4 on Monday so be sure to check your schedule if you have the Language\/Leadership Wheel during 4th period. If so, you will be going to a new class on Monday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6th and 7th Graders: <\/strong>Please don&#8217;t forget to complete your forecasting Google form with your parent at home and complete it in Student VUE as well.
