ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 13th

INTERACTIVE ZOOM MEETING FOR FAMILIES MEET WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, Joan and Stacie We will offer an interactive Zoom meeting on Tuesday, May 19th at 6:30, to share the feedback we received with parents/caregivers. We thought it might be more helpful to have an interactive session than just a written description. For those interested in the interactive Zoom Feedback Session May 19th, please provide your email address in this form so we can send you the Zoom link. The written description will follow the meeting.

ANSWERS TO SOME COMMON GENERAL QUESTIONS There is no SBAC this year - this was canceled at the state level. The last day of school is June 15th. We do plan to celebrate our 8th grade that will leave us this year. A separate zoom meeting will be held to gather input from families and students.
