With the snow day, please be careful out there…

I was at school this morning when the snow day was called, and – wow – the roads are slick. Our friends on the road commission are busy spreading salt and plowing away ice; I saw several trucks last night and again this morning. But many of the side roads and parking lots are skating rinks. So if you don’t have to go out today, stay inside, get some extra rest, do some studying, and stay safe.

Revised exam schedule

Tuesday, Jan. 30: The first day of the second semester

  • Don’t forget! Go to enrollment room at the start of the day on Tuesday, January 30

On the first day of each semester, students go directly to an "enrollment room" at the start of the school day.  These room assignments will be posted throughout the building on Tuesday morning so students know where to go.  Important announcements are shared, policies are reviewed, and students will receive a printed copy of their second semester schedule.  For more information about what we share in our enrollment room, check out this page of the GLIC.  

Thanks for your patience with the weather and the resulting changes that we are making, to make sure all our kids are safe. 

In respect and appreciation for our students and community, as always,
