Good afternoon,

I hope everyone is enjoying the “ice-day” and staying safe. Another great call by Dr. Chew! It is nasty outside!

As you know the second quarter came to an end and grades will be available early next week for students and parents. I will send out a reminder on Monday as to when the portal will be open. I hope that students are off to a good start to the third quarter!
