It is appropriate that we start this crazy week with a time change. I hope everyone remembered to set their clocks back one hour and enjoyed that extra hour of sleep today!
Due to Election Day on Tuesday and Veterans' Day on Friday, this will be a very short school week. It is hard to believe that we have only two weeks until the Thanksgiving Holiday.
- Tuesday, Nov 8: Election Day. No school for students.
- Thursday, Nov 10: Early release day. Students will be dismissed at 1:45.
- Friday, Nov 11: Veterans' Day. No school for students or staff.
- Wednesday, Nov 23 - Friday, Nov 25: Thanksgiving holiday
We hope you have a wonderful week! If you have any questions, please contact any board member. We look forward to talking to you.
