We want to first take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to all of our families for your support during this unexpected transition to eLearning. Your encouragement for us and your support of your students’ learning while at home, especially, has been so appreciated during this challenging time. We could not have done this without you!
We are now turning our attention to the end of the school year. We have been working on plans to help our students retrieve their personal belongings and other items from school, and turn in district-owned items such as library books, classroom novels, and other district materials on an assigned date and time May 19-21 from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Our plan was created to allow for the most efficient and effective exchange of items while ensuring the safety and well-being of our students, families, and staff members.
Additionally, students involved in Athletics, Fine Arts (Band/Orchestra/Choir), or Cheer will also receive separate communication regarding an exchange of materials from these programs which will take place on May 18 from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m.
In order to ensure that students have devices available for eLearning through the end of the school year, Chromebook and power cord/charger return will also occur on a different date/time, and will be communicated separately.
Please read through the important instructions below regarding the procedures for our Student Exchange of Materials. A traffic flow map and your student’s assigned date/time, based upon your student’s grade level and last name, is linked below.
