Good Morning, I just wanted to resend the link to our Distant Learning Schedule to everyone. https://5il.co/n0xg   Remember that students still need to be doing the attendance and work for classes that are not meeting live each day in order to be marked present.   For those classes that are meeting live students need to be logging and showing up each day (online) to be marked present.  If there are connectivity issues with your internet please let your teacher know. If a student is sick and cannot do the work that day please give Nichole in the office a call.  Please let us know if have any questions regarding this schedule. Thank you.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: It is still very critical that even during the Distance Learning period that the health office is contacted immediately if a student or household member is ill with COVID like symptoms, is being tested for COVID, or has tested positive for COVID. This is critical in determining return to school dates, helping reduce spread and to get our students back in the buildings. Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated!
