29-31 Spring Break
1-2 Spring Break
Principal's News
This past week we welcomed students back for an in-person Orientation which included circle activities (we engaged in play dough, Would You Rather? and Win Lose or Draw) and safe return policies and procedures. Phase 4 plans are finalized and details about the schedules are included in this communication and will be shared on Monday, March 22.
Phase 4 will consist of some time in-person for content courses, sections 1-4. Due to the structure of our schedule and transitioning between different teachers and classes in a day, students will have block period classes for longer time periods. See the Reopening Timeline below.

Student and Community Covid Testing is Available
Keeping COVID cases off of our campuses will keep our in person learning possible. As a reminder, if a student or or teacher tests positive for COVID, we will need to transition that cohort back to distance learning for at least two weeks to avoid spreading the virus. Sign up at one of the following locations to begin your regular weekly testing:
