September 7th:
Welcome Back and let’s get this school year started!
School begins on Tuesday, September 8th. All students in Grades K-5 should be ready to log into their first classroom session at 9am. All PreK students should be ready to log into their first classroom session on September 10th at 9am. Please make sure your child does not log into their session before 8:55am. This will help us keep the sessions secure and safe for your child.
