Attention parent’s who have changed your Child’s learning platform for the 4th 9 weeks....
-Their first day will be April 5th.
-As we have worked to fit them into a new schedule, their schoology dashboard will show their “old” classes, as well as their their “new” classes for the first week, please do not be alarmed.
- We will give them their new schedule upon their arrival to school on April 5.
- It is possible that your student may have a related arts class that they have already had. We have tried to avoid this as much as possible, but it is a possibility. If you have questions about this, please feel free to contact Mr. Shock at school.
-Please encourage your students to continue to do their work. This has been a difficult year on everyone, we hope we can finish this last 9 weeks strong and have a little bit of normalcy for next year 💚

If you wish to change the instructional delivery model that your child is currently receiving, please call and speak to Mr. Shock or Mrs. Luikart between the dates of January 4 and January 8. If you change platforms, this could possibly change your child’s teachers, as not all teachers teach virtually and vice versa with in person learning. Requests made outside of this window cannot be guaranteed.
Students whose platform changes will begin with their new platform on Tuesday, January 26.

A face covering must be worn and social distancing will be followed. Please remember to bring your old computer and charger to swap out. If you cannot come during the assigned times, please contact the administration and alternate arrangements can be made.
