Continuous learning opportunities are continuing to be offered to students through online and other methods. PLEASE check your emails daily for communications from teachers, and assure that your students are doing the same (Grades 5-12). Feel free to reach out to your teachers via email if you have questions or need assistance
The Jr./Sr. Prom, which was scheduled for April 25th has been indefinitely postponed awaiting further guidance from the Governor’s Office. A determination about Prom will be made by April 20. Plans for Post Prom will be determined by the Post Prom Committee.
