December 2020 

The holidays are upon us. We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and best wishes for a happy holiday season. Students are working hard to complete their first semester through on-line virtual learning. The schools are preparing now for the middle school students who are signed up for hybrid learning. These students will return to return to the classrooms a few hours a week, starting at the end of first semester, in late January/ February timeframe. The Superintendent and the School Board are working with school principals to create a plan for a smooth transition. The elementary school transition back to school is going well so far, with social distancing protocols in place.
