Parents; Due to the fact that we missed some school days during the recent ice/snow storm, we have revised the school calendar for this year. Monday February 20, 2023 will be a VIRTUAL DAY for our students instead of the scheduled Professional Development Day. All students should have their Chromebook. April 10th was scheduled as a snow day but we will use that day as a professional development day. At this time, there are no other changes. We appreciate your understanding, Keith Fisher
