Just a reminder that tomorrow (Friday) is an early dismissal for staff professional development. We won't be running a CTC bus tomorrow so we won't be picking up CTC students in the morning. CTC students are welcome to go to the CTC tomorrow but they will have to arrange for transportation in the morning and afternoon. This is typically what we do on early release days regarding CTC students.
If anyone is in need of power packs, I have put a stack out in front of the junior high gym/ bus unloading area. Take what you need. if anyone happens to drive by and there are none or you come to get some and there aren't any there please text me at 740-222-83 11 and I will come down and put more out.

Here is a good intro for anyone who is unfamiliar with the GRIT Project. You may hear us refer to the GRIT Assessment. It is technically called the Future Plans Assessment. The terms are used interchangeably in Appalachia because of the unique partnership between the two entities. Future Plans has been a game changer and even life changer for many in our area in just a short time. Scan the QR code for more information or visit their website.
