We will send out a message when the date has been set.

Food Order Change for Tuesday, February 17, Due to Friday's Storm

Home and School Meeting 7 p.m.

The Home and School meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight, not 6:30 as previously published in the calendar.

Storm Days and Food Orders

When school is cancelled and the food item that was ordered is not received, consider the food that was ordered as a credit towards your next food order. The next time a student puts in a food order, fill out the Food Order forms as normal (including subway forms) but do not pay for the food item that wasn't received due to the school cancellation. Indicate on the Food Order form that you have a credit for that item due to the cancellation. Hopefully, this should save some confusion.

Professional Development Day is Monday, February 2 NO CLASSES

Just a reminder that Monday, February 2, is a Professional Development day and there will be no classes. This day was originally scheduled for February 3rd but has been changed to February 2. There will be classes on Tuesday, February 3.
