With continued low temperatures and additional snow overnight, many of our roads, parking lots, and walkways remain icy and unsafe. For everyone's safety, Monday, February 2, will be NTI Day #5. We understand that some of our families are just now getting power restored. Please know that when we return to school, time and support will be provided for any students who were unable to complete NTI work due to weather-related impacts. Thank you for your continued flexibility and support as we work through these winter conditions. Please take care, stay safe, and reach out to your teachers if you have any questions or need assistance.

Friday, January 30, will be NTI Day #4 and is intended to be a time for students to catch up on Days 1-3, check in with teachers, and ask questions as needed. No new work will be assigned. Teachers will continue to be available to support students and work with families that have been negatively impacted by this winter weather situation. Stay safe and warm, Eagles!

Due to icy road conditions and continued power outages, Wednesday, January 28th will be NTI Day #2 and Thursday, January 29th will be NTI Day #3. Teachers will be in communication via Rooms to help throughout the day both days. Stay safe and warm, Eagles!
