An update about the summer school application for high school students: https://5il.co/rkst To ensure we have enough student interest in PE/HE and Driver's Ed. to be taken over the summer, please be sure to have your child turn in the form tomorrow (April 14) so I can provide a count to the board office. If we do not have enough numbers we may not be able to offer these courses at our school during the summer. Also, if your child is enrolled in Credit Recovery this 4th nine weeks, I still strongly encourage you to go ahead and sign up for summer school, in case that option is needed. Thank you!

This Friday, April 16, is a Non-traditional Instructional Day (NTID). What this means: 1. Students will work remotely (not at school). 2.
