Happy Groundhog Day Weekend! I cannot believe that we are already ending January and starting February! I am excited as we are moving closer to spring and hopefully closer to being out of our weather conditions. Just a reminder if we do have inclement weather, we will be on Day 10 of our NTID. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns regarding the NTID. Also thank you to all of you for making days 6, 7, 8, and 9 so successful.

TGIF! What a week! I hope this message finds everyone warm. The temperatures were brutal and the hopes of a huge melt was definitely disappointing. We enjoyed the interaction over the past few days as you all navigated the Non Traditional Instructional Days! I will be happy when we were back in school consistently!
This week has had us making some changes to our calendar!

We made it! I was so excited to see everyone on Monday morning! It was nice to enjoy our first week back after a long break. At this time, we do not have any more Traditional Snow Days. We will be transitioning to our Non-Traditional Instructional Days or NTID. These will occur days 6-10 of the next round of inclement weather. We are asking you to be prepared. Teachers have worked hard to create choice boards with skills that students are currently working on. All instruction will be asynchronous for K-2 students, therefore no devices will go home. Your child's teacher will be sending home all of this information with your child as well as posting this information canvas. Should you have questions or concerns, all teachers will have office hours on the NTID and will be easily accessible via Teams. I will also be accessible via teams or e mail. We look forward to continuing learning even in inclement weather with your child!
