CALENDAR CHANGE!

Please note that January 31 is now a regular instructional day and is no longer a student holiday.  As it stands now, we will have to make up one additional lost day.  Plans to make up the additional day will likely involve adding time to the school day and not affect the President’s Day holiday or Spring Break.  We would not start this until after the threat of inclement weather has passed.
