Reminder- there is NO SCHOOL (NO CLASSES) on Monday, February 16th, for Presidents' Day. It is a professional day for district employees. We will see everyone on Tuesday!
Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grades melted hearts during the Frosty Weather music program tonight. Ms. Morris eloquently led students in a strong and elevated show singing Freeze!, Frosty Weather, Red Bird, Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis, Seven Feet of Snow, and Somewhere in My Memory. The choreography, narration, and light extravaganza were especially captivating. We welcome 6 more weeks of winter weather with delightful encouragement and entertainment from early childhood!
There are NO basketball games this Wednesday, February 11th. It is a bye week. Practice will push to Wednesday and Thursday from 4:00-5:30pm for boys and girls.
Tonight at 6pm: Warm up at the Winter Music Program performed by Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade classes. Students need to arrive at school by 5:30 pm and report to their classrooms. Friends and family meet in the gym for the show!
Congratulations to the triple threat of debaters - Carter Johns, Sammy Wallace III, and Tatum Burkhalter, and their fearless leader, Mr. Vasquez, for earning 2nd place in the annual Mid-Del Schools Debate Tournament! They competed against 13 elementary schools for this honor, providing evidence for and against the claim that fine arts involvement supports academic growth. Tatum was the opener, Sammy was the closer, and Carter, Sammy, and Tatum spoke in arguments and rebuttals during their rounds (assigned two pros and one con).
The roads aren't perfect. There are still some slick spots in neighborhoods, along with a few intersections near Barnes, Schwartz, and Pleasant Hill Elementary. We encourage families to plan for extra time getting their students to school. Bus routes may run a little more slowly in these areas as well.
We will ask schools to be mindful of these conditions when marking students tardy at the beginning of the school day.
We understand that parents have the ultimate responsibility to decide what's safe for your child. Our school parking lots and sidewalks have been cleared, and we will have warm meals. If you can't get out of your neighborhood, please call your child's absence into their school.
Good afternoon -
We have been out driving roads and are seeing some improvement. Of course, better doesn't mean great. The forecast shows temperatures hovering around the freezing mark overnight. Right now, I'm 50/50 on being in school tomorrow. The final decision will be made when my team and I get up early in the morning and test roads in different parts of the district. Our decision will be made by 5:00 am, at which point we will send out messages, either way.
I know that leaves our families and staff in limbo, and I'm sorry for that, but I never take the responsibility of this decision lightly. As much as I'd love to have the right answer right now, I'm going to ask for your patience. The goal is always to teach our students and be safe doing it.
With that in mind, stay warm and safe. Hopefully, we'll see you tomorrow.
