October Message

District Instructional Model Survey

Next week the District will be sending everyone an email to determine if they are considering a change in their selected instructional model for the second semester. You need to respond only if you are requesting a change. There will be a separate survey for transportation. Please be on the look out for these emails. 


School Closure

We remain optimistic that we will be able to continue with our hybrid instructional model for the foreseeable future. But we need to be prepared for a sudden short and long-term closure. Here is how we will ensure the continuity of instruction in the event of a closure:

  • Students would continue their in-school daily schedule at home using Zoom to attend synchronous classes with their teachers.
  • Wednesdays would remain set aside for student hours. Students would continue to sign up directly to meet with a teacher. Teachers may also request small group or individual meetings.
  • Instructional materials would continue to be pushed out electronically to students via Google Classroom or other digital means asynchronously on the remote days as it is now.


Operoo Reminder


Hybrid and remote students should use Operoo to take attendance on days that they are either not physically in school or on days that their remote cohort does not have synchronous classes.






Halloween Costume Contest

Our costume contest will be held on Tuesday, October 27th and Friday, October 30th. Each homeroom will vote on the best costume. Our Student Council has a prize for each winner. Costume masks can be worn for judging only.

News from the School Library

We are happy to report that our students have been checking out a record number of books from our library. In our inventory procedure we have also noted a record number of books not returned from the spring school closure. Please look around your house to see if you have any of our books to be returned to our shelves. Thank you!
