Also, a big shout-out to our 4th graders and Mr. Hamblin for an amazing performance last night, what a wonderful way to celebrate the season!

The first 6 snow days will be AMI days. Students and staff will complete the school day from home and the day will not need to be made up at the end of the year. If you have any questions regarding AMI day instructions, materials, etc. please reach out to your child’s teacher.
