School Calendar 2021-22
I explained this in the voice call but I know not everyone gets it. Our air conditioner is still not working. The temperature at 3 o’clock today was 78.5 with the warmest classroom being 80 degrees. It’s going to be about eight or 9° warmer than normal in the classrooms and a little sticky. The high tomorrow is only going to be 80 so it shouldn’t get above that because we will be cooling it all night with the outside air. Students should dress as cool as possible while staying within dress code guidelines. The new system has been ordered and paid for and is on the way. Hopefully it will be hooked up before the end of the week.
Here is a link to the student forms we have available online. The following back-to-school forms are editable online in Microsoft Word. They can't be done on your phone or in Google Docs. Download the form in Word and save it and email it to the appropriate email addresses.
