Nightly News for February 28th

I definitely have caught the crud. I am doing my best to get to bed early. With night events tonight and tomorrow night I may come in about an hour or so later so I can push through.   Garden has been cancelled for tomorrow.  Due to the assembly on Friday, middle school will not have clubs.  Below is the link to renew your Med Administration Training. If you sign in you should be able to see your account and renew online if it allows you to (depends on how much time has passed). If it says that you must attend a training, you can sign up by browsing events- there is a virtual training on 03/15 at 4:00 pm that has slots available. If you plan on going on any field trips this spring it is imperative you are trained.

Nightly News for February 23rd

 I am sure you have all heard the news...no school again tomorrow. May you enjoy the weekend and get plenty of snow time in. I worked a bit this morning and then took a lunch break in my hot tub. It was the best lunch hour ever.  Please stay safe and let me know if you need anything. The building is closed tomorrow. The last basketball games of the season are slated for Saturday. These will be weather dependent. Here is the schedule.  3rd Grade Boys- 1:45 @ Atkinson 3rd Grade Girls- 10:10 @ Mt Tabor 4th Grade- 12:45 @ Atkinson 5th Grade- 10:10 @ Fernwood I am hoping to catch one of the 10:10 games, but have a conference on Saturday and won't be able to make the others. A huge shout out of appreciation to Danelle, Jessica, Herk, Kara who were instrumental in making this happen for our kids. I also want to thank everyone who came out to support the teams. 

Nightly News for February 22nd

 I hope you all made it home safely. As I type this we are still waiting patiently for our last bus to arrive. Thank you to Danelle, Tom and Mary for hanging around and helping to supervise students. Mary is still here! I am guessing we may be out tomorrow...we shall see.  I have a few people I was doing pre observations with tomorrow. I sent out invites to do a quick virtual  meeting. I realize it may not be a work day, but we are on a tight timeline and I would like to try and accomplish this if possible as not being here tomorrow will push things out even further. Thank you for your help with this! In the event there is a two hour late start tomorrow we will still hold the middle school activity day on Friday. If there is no school tomorrow this will be postponed until next Friday.
