Dear Parent/Guardians,
Great Concerts -
We had two wonderful orchestra concerts this week! The 7th & 8th graders were excited to be in front of an audience for the first time in several months and they sounded great! We appreciate the audience following the protocols while attending as well. 😊

Thanks for your participation in the remote conferences this week! If you have a teacher that you did not connect with and want to still meet, please send them an email and they will try to connect with you.

Remote Meets with Teachers -
Thanks for your patience this week as we practiced our remote learning! Thursday and Friday went very smoothly! We expect each student in a google meet when working remote to be present on the screen. We had students who had an image up on the screen. Our teachers have reminded the students about this, but if you could have a conversation with your daughter/son as well that would be great. Thanks!
