As projections are uncertain and varied, weather will continue to be monitored overnight, and further school delay or closure may still occur. If further modifications to the school day are necessary, additional notifications will occur.
Here are your announcements for the week of Dec. 1-5, 2025.
We are approaching the final three weeks of the first semester, and we encourage you to remind your child to complete assignments and turn them in on time. Our goal is for every student to finish the first half of the school year with the strongest grades possible.
Morning Arrival Reminders
Please ensure your child arrives before 7:38 a.m. Students need ample time to eat breakfast, drop off band or athletic equipment in the band or locker room, visit their locker, and arrive in HR by 7:40 a.m.
Students who arrive after 7:38 a.m. must be signed into the office by a parent/guardian in order to be counted present for the day. For safety reasons, please do not drop students off and leave without signing them in.
Case21 assessments will take place Monday through Wednesday. These assessments help determine how students are progressing with grade-level standards and identify areas where additional support may be needed as we prepare for the second half of the year.
We will follow a testing schedule on these days. Please encourage your child to get plenty of sleep, eat a good breakfast, and come to school ready to do their best.
