Parents, We are making a minor change to the school calendar. Monday, March 8th was a student attendance day. It will now be a Remote Learning Planning Day. There will be no student attendance and no remote learning on Monday, March 8th. Our staff will use that time to identify students that are struggling, students that are behind, students that would benefit from after-school programs, and students that would benefit from summer school. We want to do everything possible to help our students succeed under these unusual circumstances. As a reminder, Friday, March 5th is a School Improvement Day with a half-day of attendance (1130am dismissal for elementary and 1140am for middle and high school). We wanted to make you aware of the change to the school calendar as soon as possible so that you can make appropriate plans. Thank you for your continued support.

IB families, The memorial wall for Mrs. Huene will remain up this week to afford students the opportunity to contribute memorial items. All items will be given to the Huene family at the end of the week. Mrs. Jeannie Blane, retired elementary principal from Brimfield, will continue to serve as interim elementary principal for the remainder of second semester. Mrs. Huene remains close to our hearts and minds as we prepare ourselves to continue the work she began in a way that will prove worthy of honoring her memory. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns that you have. Sincerely, Dr. Roger Alvey Superintendent

Happy New Year! We look forward to getting back to school on Wednesday, January 6th with in-person learning! We will still be offering a remote instruction option for those that desire to do so, just as we did first semester. If you haven’t already, please let your child’s school office know that they will be remote learning. Also, please be sure to let your child's school office know if your child(ren) are in quarantine (contact with a positive COVID19 case) or have tested positive for COVID19. We want to be sure they receive any instructional materials they might need. Finally, I wanted to remind you of the importance of self-certification prior to students returning to school. Self-certification needs to be done daily via TeacherEase. We will continue to conduct temperature screenings at the main entrances. All other COVID19 mitigation measures employed first semester will continue second semester. Please remember keep students home when they have any symptoms. We are excited to start 2021 with all of you! See everyone on Wednesday! Dr. Roger Alvey Superintendent

Thank you for joining us in our effort to spread some much needed kindness and joy to our students in need this holiday season.
